[ips-sf] SWS Summary Forecast for 17 August - issued 2357UT/16-Aug-2017 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[rwc]

Very Low to Low solar flare activity. The onset of a high speed solar
wind stream from a large extended northern hemisphere located
recurrent coronal hole is expected in the next 24 hours resulting in
Light to Strong solar wind. Geomagnetic conditions currently at Quiet
levels with Active to Minor Storm periods possible latter in the UT
day and Aurora sightings possible from southernmost Australian regions
(should favourable viewing conditions exist). With recent growth
exhibited by region 2671 (N12E48) there is a small chance for
short-wave radio fadeouts. High-frequency radio communications
currently normal degraded conditions for mid to high latitudes
expected due to increased geomagnetic activity.
