SUBJ: IPS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 0205 UT ON 01 Sep 2015 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

The two day outlook is geomagnetic conditions will be mostly unsettled
and at times could reach to minor storms levels in the high latitude
regions. Minor storm levels on 1 and 2 Sep are forecasted due to a
positive polarity equatorial coronal hole taking a geoeffective
position on solar disk. The subsequent high speed solar winds
emanating from the coronal hole and provided Bz is southwards for
prolonged periods could lead to possible active geomagnetic
conditions. The aurora may be visible at the local night time of 1 and
2 Sep from Tasmania and other southern most regions of Australia.
