[ips-sf] IPS Summary Forecast for 13 January - issued 2323UT/12-Jan-2014

[rwc]

Solar activity was low over the last 24 hours and is likely to remain
low on 13-Jan, though region 1944 still has potential for M-class
flares. The solar wind speed has increased to very strong levels as a
result of coronal hole effects. This is resulting in some unsettled to
active geomagnetic conditions across Australia and minor storm level
periods in the Antarctic region. Short-wave fadeouts are possible for
the next 2 days. Otherwise HF conditions are mostly normal, though
some degraded periods are likely at high latitudes on 13-Jan.
