Solar activity stayed at low levels on 3 February. Solar wind may
continue to stay at slightly stronger levels on 4 February due to the
continued effect of the currently geoeffective coronal hole. Low
levels of solar activity may be expected on 4 February. Geomagnetic
conditions stayed mostly at Quiet levels with some Unsettled periods
on 3 February. Enhancements in geomagnetic activity levels up to
Unsettled and possibly isolated Active periods may be possible on 4
February if Bz turns significantly negative for prolonged hours. HF
conditions stayed mostly normal on 3 February with some periods of
minor to significant MUF enhancements in the low and mid latitude

to mild degradations in HF conditions and MUF depressions may be
