SUMMARY FOR 24 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 25 JUNE - 27 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: GREEN
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 24 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 24 Jun:  68/2

COMMENT: Solar activity remained Very Low for UT day 24 June. 
A new region, 2742(N04W22) was numbered and a spot developement 
was observed near(N05W48). Very Low solar activity is expected 
for the next 3 UT days, 25-27 June with a slight chance of an 
isolated C-class flare. There were no earth-directed CMEs observed 
in the available coronagraph imagery. On UT day 24 June, the 
solar wind speed remained at nominal levels, currently ~ 330 
Km/s. The total IMF (Bt) varied mostly between 3 nT and 6 nT 
and the north-south component of the IMF (Bz) varied in the range 
+/- 3 nT. The solar wind is expected to become moderately enhanced 
on 25-26 June due influence of a recurrent negative polarity 
coronal hole, then start to weaken on 27 June.

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.

25 Jun    15    Quiet to Active
26 Jun    10    Quiet to Unsettled
27 Jun     7    Mostly Quiet

COMMENT: Geomagnetic activity was at Quiet levels across the 
Australian region for the UT day 24 June. Mostly Quiet levels 
were observed in Antarctica with isolated Unsettled periods. 
Geomagnetic activity is expected to reach Unsettled levels on 
25-26 with possible Active periods today, 25 June due to negative 
polarity coronal hole influences, then mostly Quiet on 27 June 
as coronal hole effects wane.

COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) ranged mostly from 
near predicted monthly values to slightly enhanced at times for 
all regions today, 24 June. Sporadic-E and Spread F occurrences 
were observed over some Australian ionosonde sites. For 25-27 
June, MUFs are expected to range mostly near predicted monthly 
levels.
