[ips-sf] SWS Summary Forecast for 24 August - issued 0246UT/24-Aug-2016 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[rwc]

Solar activity has been Very Low over the last 24 hours. Stronger
solar wind conditions may be expected on 24 and 25 August due to the
effect of a high speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole. Solar
activity is expected to stay at Very Low levels for the next three
days with some possibility of isolated C-class event. Due to sustained
periods of negative Bz and some strengthening in the solar wind
stream, geomagnetic activity increased to active levels with isolated
minor storm periods on high latitudes on 23 August. Geomagnetic
activity may stay at Unsettled to Active levels on 24 and 25 August
due to a coronal hole effect. Mild to Moderate MUF depressions were
observed in some mid-latitude regions during the UT day, 23 August.
MUFs were near predicted monthly values for most other regions. Mild
to moderate depressions in MUFs and degradations in HF conditions may
be observed on 24 and 25 August due to expected rise in geomagnetic
activity levels on these days.
