COMMENT: Solar activity was high on UT day 03 July. Region 2838(NW 
limb) produced several C flares, two M flares at 0717 UT and 
1702UT and an X1.5 flare at 1429UT, associated with SWFs and 
a minor increase in the proton flux(> than 10 Mev) following 
the X class flare. Three impulsive CMEs were observed in limited 
Lasco coronagraph images around 3/0400UT, 3/0800UT and 3/1448UT 
in association with the abovementioned flares, unlikely to have 
any earth directed component. Small filaments eruptions also 
observed in NW and SW quadrants, further imagery is required 
for any associated CMEs. Currently there are four numbered regions 
on the visible disk with region 2835 the largest,retained a beta-Gamma 
magnetic class but remained relatively quiet. All other regions 
remained stable and quiet. Solar activity is expected to be low 
to moderate on UT days 04-06 July with a chance of an X-class 
flare on 04 July. On 03 July, the solar wind speed remained enhanced, 
varied between 370-500 km/s. The IMF (Bt) peaked at 5 nT and 
the north-south IMF component (Bz) range was +/-2 nT. The solar 
wind speed is expected to be slightly to moderately enhanced 
on UT days 04-06 July due to weak coronal hole effects.

      Hobart              22   (Quiet to 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: Geomagnetic conditions in the Australian region were 
quiet on UT day 03 July. In the Antarctic region, geomagnetic 
conditions were quiet to unsettled. Global geomagnetic conditions 
are expected to be quiet to unsettled on UT days 04-06 July due 
to weak coronal hole effects.
