1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 10 Jun:  High

Flares    Max     Fadeout    Freq.  Sectors
  X2.2    1142UT  probable   all    European
  X1.5    1252UT  probable   all    European

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 10 Jun: 166/120


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             11 Jun             12 Jun             13 Jun
Activity     Moderate to high   Moderate to high   Moderate to high

10.7cm/SSN   165/119            160/114            160/114

COMMENT: Solar activity was high over the last 24 hours, with 
two X-flares from region 2087 (S15) on the east limb. These were 
an X2.2 event at 10/1142UT and an X1.5 at 10/1252UT. A CME was 
associated with each of these flares, the second being larger 
and faster than the first. Most of the mass was ejected to the 
east, but there is a possibility Earth could receive a glancing 
blow from the faster CME on 13-Jun. Solar activity is expected 
to be moderate to high over the next 3 days. The solar wind speed 
has increased from ~400km/s to ~450km/s. The IMF Bz component 
varied between -6/+8nT.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 10 Jun : 
      Darwin               8   (Quiet)
      Townsville           3   (Quiet)

      Gingin               0   (Quiet)
      Canberra             0   (Quiet)

Pc3 pulsations are high frequency (10-45 second period) variations 
of the Earths magnetic field. Daily pc3-indices are the daily sum 
of 20 minute pc3-indices for that station and have been shown to be
well correlated with rejection of high resolution aeromagnetic
survey flight-line data. 

NOTE: Indices may have been generated from data obtained in 
cooperation with the following organisations: Geoscience Australia, 
University of Newcastle Space Physics Group, Australian Government 
Antarctic Division and International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.

COMMENT: Quiet conditions were observed over the Australian region 
over the last 24 hours. Some unsettled to minor storm levels 
were observed in Antarctic. Quiet conditions are expected for 
the Australian region for 11-12 Jun, with active periods possible 
at high latitudes on 13-Jun if the 10-Jun CME arrives.

COMMENT: IPS SWF HF Communications Warning 28 was issued on 10 
June and is current for 11-13 Jun. Nighttime MUF depressions 
were observed in the Niue Island region and in Northern Australia. 
Otherwise, MUFs were near monthly predicted values. MUFs are 
expected to be near to predicted monthly values over the next 
3 days, with some mild depressions.
