COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 26-Jun was at the R0 level, 
with several low-level C-class flares. There are currently two 
numbered sunspot regions visible on the solar disk. AR3038 (N16W86, 
beta) is soon to rotate off the solar disk. AR3040 (S14E04, beta) 
was responsible for most of the flaring activity. Both regions 
appear to be stable. Solar activity is expected to be at the 
R0 level over 27-29 Jun, with a chance of R1. Several CMEs were 
observed, but none are considered to be geoeffective. A large 
filament was observed at 26/0121UT lifting off the solar disk 
in the southwest quadrant, near S50W50, visible in GOES SUVI 
and H-alpha imagery. This may be associated with a south-directed 
CME observed in LASCO C2 from 26/0336UT. Analysis of the coronagraph 
imagery indicates that this CME is a farside event, and model 
runs indicate that it is not geoeffective. A disappearing filament 
located near N25W45 was observed in both GOES SUVI and H-alpha 
imagery from 26/1038UT. An associated northwest CME is visible 
in STEREO-A and LASCO C2 from 26/1136UT, and model runs indicate 
that this is not geoeffective. A west-directed CME is visible 
in STEREO-A imagery from 26/1838UT. Further analysis will be 
conducted to determine if there is an Earth-directed component 
when more coronagraph imagery becomes available. The solar wind 
on UT day 26-Jun was elevated due to ongoing coronal hole effects, 
ranging between 425-760 km/s, and is currently at around 630 
km/s. The peak total interplanetary magnetic field strength (IMF, 
Bt) was 14 nT, and the north-south IMF component (Bz) range was 
+7 to -9 nT. Bz was intermittently southward during the UT day. 
The solar wind speed is expected to remain elevated over 27-29 
Jun, with a declining trend towards the end of the period.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 26 Jun :

      Townsville          NA

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: SWS Geomagnetic Warning 28 was issued on 25 June and 
is current for 26-27 Jun. G1 geomagnetic conditions were observed 
in the Australian region on UT day 26-Jun, in response to a coronal 
hole high speed wind stream. G3 geomagnetic conditions were observed 
in the Antarctic region. G0 conditions are generally expected 
over 27-29 Jun in the Australian region, with a slight chance 
of G1 conditions on 27-Jun, due to ongoing coronal hole effects.
