[ips-sf] SWS Summary Forecast for 25 August - issued 2321UT/24-Aug-2016 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[rwc]

Solar activity has been very low over the last 24 hours. Solar wind
conditions may stay strong on 25 August due to the continued effect of
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 strong solar wind stream from a coronal hole,
geomagnetic activity increased to active levels on 24 August.
Geomagnetic activity may stay at unsettled levels with the possibility
of some active periods on 25 August due to the coronal hole effect.
Activity levels may gradually decline to unsettled and then quiet
levels on 26 August. Mostly quiet periods can be expected on 27
August. Mild to Moderate MUF depressions were observed in some low and
mid latitude regions during the UT day, 24 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 25 and possibly 26 August due to expected continued rise in
geomagnetic activity levels on these days. Mostly normal HF conditions
may be expected on 27 August.
