Quiet to Unsettled conditions over the previous week.
Unsettled to Minor Storm conditions possible for 04Jun-06Jun from 
an expected rise in the solar wind velocity due to the influence 
of a high speed solar wind stream from a recurrent equatorial 
positioned coronal hole. Quiet to Unsettled otherwise.

Pc3 pulsations are high frequency (10-45 second period) variations 
of the Earths magnetic field. Daily pc3-indices are the daily sum of 
20 minute pc3-indices for that station and have been shown to be well 
correlated with rejection of high resolution aeromagnetic survey 
flight-line data.

PLEASE NOTE:
Geomagnetic activity can frequently be determined by short timescale 
solar events that cannot be forecast a week in advance, particularly
at solar maximum.
