SUMMARY FOR 27 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 28 JUNE - 30 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: ** RED **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 27 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 27 Jun: 104/53


1B. SOLAR FORECAST

Activity     Low                Low                Low

10.7cm/SSN   110/60             120/72             130/84

COMMENT: Solar activity was Low over the last 24 hours with a 
single long duration C1 class X-ray flare peaking at 0114UT, 
most likely from an active region behind the east limb from which 
a backside CME was observed to erupt shortly thereafter. No other 
geoeffective CMEs were observed during 27 June in the available 
SOHO and STEREO satellite imagery. All numbered regions on the 
solar disk remain fairly stable. Expect solar activity to be 
mostly Low over the next three days. ACE data show the solar 
wind at nominal levels over 27 June UT day. Elevated solar wind 
speed from a coronal hole may take effect late today,28 June.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 27 Jun : 
      Darwin              14   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (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.

28 Jun    12    Quiet to Unsettled conditions with a chance of 
                isolated Active periods.
29 Jun    10    Quiet to Unsettled
30 Jun     7    Mostly Quiet.

COMMENT: Quiet conditions observed over the last 24 hours at 
all latitudes. The expected arrival of a coronal hole high speed 
wind stream in the next 12-24 hours is expected to cause Unsettled 
conditions with a chance of isolated Active periods.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
28 Jun    40    20 to 30% below predicted monthly values
29 Jun    40    20 to 30% below predicted monthly values
30 Jun    60    15 to 20% below predicted monthly values

COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 32 was issued on 25 June 
and is current for 26-28 Jun. Variable depressions observed in 
the Australian region due to declining EUV levels related to 
a low number of active regions on the Sun. There should be Unsettled 
geomagnetic activity due to high solar wind speed from a coronal 
hole, with possible peak Active (depending on Interplanetary 
Magnetic field north-south orientation) from late on 28 June, 
probably causing MUF depressions up to 40% for 28-29 June. Slight 
improvement in HF conditions possible on 30 June.
