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.

02 Jul    12    Quiet to unsettled, with the chance of active 
                periods. 
COMMENT: A high speed coronal hole solar wind stream is expected 
to arrive at the Earth between 2-4 June and produce slightly 
increased levels of geomagnetic activity.
