2. FORECAST (23 SEPTEMBER - 29 SEPTEMBER)
Solar: 
R0-R1 solar activity generally expected during the week.

Geomagnetic:  
G0, with a chance of G1 geomagnetic conditions expected over 23-25 Sep
due to ongoing coronal hole high speed wind stream effects. 

G0 geomagnetic conditions expected on other days.

Frequencies:  
Mildly depressed/degraded conditions are possible for southern Australia
over 23-25 Sep during local night and briefly after local dawn due to coronal
hole high speed wind stream effects.

MUFs expected to be near predicted monthly values on other days.
