COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 03-Jul was at the R0 level, 
with no significant flaring activity. There are currently three 
spotted regions on the solar disk, with region AR3040 
rotating off disk. Remaining on disk regions are considered insignificant 
and all regions currently exhibit a low flare probability with 
AR3040 producing a minor C3 flare at 03/1954UT. Solar activity 
is expected to be at the R0 level over 04-06 Jul. In US GONG 
Halpha imagery, a small solar filament lifted off the solar disk, 
located at S45E05, from 03/0100UT. No Earth-directed CMEs have 
been observed, with a narrow westward CME observed in LASCO C2 
and C3 imagery at around 03/0400UT, which doesnt seem location 
correlated to the filament eruption, and is currently considered 
farside. An isolated coronal hole is visible in SDO imagery now 
transiting the solar central meridian, which in SDO 193 imagery 
appears to be decreasing in area as it crosses solar central 
meridian. The solar wind speed on 03-Jul ranged between 298 to 
374 km/s, The peak total interplanetary magnetic field strength 
(IMF, Bt) was 16 nT, and the north-south IMF component (Bz) range 
was +12 to -5nT. The solar wind speed is expected to mostly remain 
at near background levels over 04-05 Jul, with a slight chance 
for solar wind parameters to become enhanced over the period 
04 Jul due to CME activity on 29 Jun. The isolated coronal hole 
is expected to increase solar wind speed from late 06-07 Jul.

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.

04 Jul    14    G0, slight chance of G1

COMMENT: G0 conditions were observed in the Australian region. 
Mostly G0 conditions observed in the Antarctic region, with an 
isolated G3 period at Mawson. G0 geomagnetic conditions are mostly 
expected in the Australian region over 04-06 Jul. There is a 
slight chance for G1 conditions on 04 Jul due to the possible 
arrival of recent CME, which is now looking less likely. Geomagnetic 
activity is expected to increase from late 06 to 07 Jul due to 
a coronal hole solar wind stream.

COMMENT: Mostly normal HF propagation conditions are expected 
over 04-06 Jul. Degraded HF conditions may be then be experienced 
for mid to high latitudes, due to anticipated coronal hole wind 
stream induced geomagnetic activity late 6-7 Jul.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
04 Jul    45    Depressed 10 to 15%/near predicted monthly values
05 Jul    55    Near predicted monthly values
06 Jul    55    Near predicted monthly values

COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) on UT day 03-Jul were 
15-20% depressed to near predicted monthly values. Degraded HF 
conditions were observed during local night hours, with spread 
F was observed overnight at several sites to varying degrees. 
Frequent sporadic E was also observed in regional ionograms. 
MUFs for today are generally expected to be slightly depressed 
to near predicted monthly values. Forecast possible degraded 
HF conditions over 04-05 Jul, due to the possible arrival of 
recent CMEs, are now looking less likely. However, degraded conditions 
for southern Australian region are expected from around 7-8 Jul 
due to anticipated coronal hole wind stream induced geomagnetic 
activity.
