*estimated from real time data

Elevated activity observed during the past week was predominantly
due to a high speed coronal hole solar wind stream. Large active solar
regions currently on the visible disk have the chance of producing storm
levels over the next week or two.

Disturbed Periods: 20-30 Nov & 6-16 Dec.

Best Quiet Periods: 1-5 Dec.


PLEASE NOTE:  
At this time of the solar cycle, space weather conditions

able to be forecasted a week in advance.
