SUBJ: IPS GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE WARNING 15/38
ISSUED AT 0202UT/01 SEPTEMBER 2015
BY THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE.

The two day outlook is geomagnetic conditions will be mostly 
unsettled and at times could reach to minor storms levels in 
the high latitude regions. Minor storm levels on 1 and 2 Sep 
are forecasted due to a positive polarity equatorial coronal 
hole taking a geoeffective position on solar disk. The subsequent 
high speed solar winds emanating from the coronal hole and provided 
Bz is southwards for prolonged periods could lead to possible 
active geomagnetic conditions. The aurora may be visible at the 
local night time from Tasmania and other southern most regions 
of Australia.

INCREASED GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY EXPECTED 
DUE TO CORONAL HOLE HIGH SPEED WIND STREAM
FROM 01-02 SEPTEMBER 2015
