SUBJ: IPS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 0045 UT ON 11 Jun 2016 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

The earth is beginning to experience the influence of high speed
stream (HSS) from a large Northern Hemisphere coronal hole. The solar
winds are expected to further enhance today (11 June) in response to
the passing coronal hole effects. The geomagnetic conditions are
expected to be mostly at active levels and at times possibly reaching
minor storm levels in response to the HSS emanating from the coronal
hole. On UT day 12 June, mostly unsettled to active geomagnetic
conditions are expected as the coronal hole effects wane. Thus, there
is chance that aurora may be visible from high magnetic latitude
regions of Australia (Tasmania and some parts of Victoria) at the
local night of 11 June.
