[rwc]

SUBJ: SWS GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE WARNING 15/55
ISSUED AT 0451UT/01 DECEMBER 2015
BY THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE.

Geomagnetic conditions are expected to rise due to combined effects 
of a high speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole and a possible 
glancing blow from a halo CME recorded on 29 Nov. This CME was 
composed of two ejections and may have been associated with the 
B6 flare at 0737UT/29 and a filament eruption preceding the flare. 
Minor geomagnetic storms could occur on 2-3 Dec depending on 
IMF Bz conditions.

INCREASED GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY EXPECTED 
DUE TO CORONAL MASS EJECTION
FROM 02-03 DECEMBER 2015
