COMMENT: Solar activity over the last 24 hours was Very Low and 
is expected to remain so for the next 3 days. Over the last 24 
hours, the solar wind speed declined from around 550km/s to ~500km/s. 
The IMF Bz has ranged between +/-2nT for the last 10 hours. The 
solar wind speed is expected to continue declining over the next 
3 days.

2A. MAGNETIC SUMMARY

Geomagnetic field for Australian Region 26 Jun: Quiet to Unsettled 

Estimated Indices 26 Jun :  A   K

      Darwin               5   221122--

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 26 Jun : 
      Darwin               3   (Quiet)
      Townsville           0   (Quiet)
      Learmonth            0   (Quiet)
      Alice_Springs        0   (Quiet)
      Gnangara            11   (Quiet)
      Canberra             0   (Quiet)
      Hobart               0   (Quiet)
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. 

NOTE: Indices may have been generated from data obtained in 
cooperation with the following organisations: Geoscience Australia, 
University of Newcastle Space Physics Group, Australian Government 
Antarctic Division and Space Environment Research Center, Japan.

COMMENT: Geomagnetic conditions were mostly Quiet, with some 
Unsettled periods over the last 24 hours for the Australian region. 
There were some Storm periods at high latitudes. Conditions over 
the next 3 days are expected to be mostly Quiet. Isolated Active 
to Storm periods are likely at high latitudes.
