FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE
SUMMARY FOR 10 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 11 JUNE - 13 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 10 Jun:  Low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 10 Jun: 135/89


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             11 Jun             12 Jun             13 Jun
Activity     Low                Low                Low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN   135/89             135/89             135/89

COMMENT: Solar activity was Low over the last 24 hours. The largest 
X-ray flare was a C6 at 10/0226UT. Expect Low solar activity 
with a slight chance of Moderate activity over the next three 
days. The solar wind speed remained just over 600km/s over the 
last 24 hours. During this period the Bz component of the IMF 
ranged between +5/-4nT. Expect the solar wind to gradually return 
to nominal levels over the UT day 11 June. Holloman Solar Observatory 
observed a 1F H-alpha Hyder flare at 09/2001UT from active region 
2364(S07E18) associated with an erupting filament and also appears 
to be associated with a partial halo CME observed in SOHO C2 
imagery at 09/2024UT. CAT fit and Enlil model run pending.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 10 Jun : 
      Darwin               0   (Quiet)
      Townsville           2   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)

      Canberra            39   (Quiet to unsettled)
      Melbourne           46   (Unsettled)

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: Expect geomagnetic activity to be Unsettled to Quiet 
today, 11 June and Quiet on 12-13 June, unless the partial halo 
CME has a glancing blow early on 12 June then expect Unsettled 
to Active geomagnetic activity with the possibility of Minor 
Storm levels at higher latitudes.
