COMMENT: Solar activity was Low for the UT day, 01 June. Two 
C-class X-ray flares were observed during the day, the largest 
was a C2.4-class flare occurring at 01/0137UT from active region 
2079. Expect solar activity to remain Low for the next 3 days. 
The solar wind remained light over the last 24 hours ranging 
between 320 and 280 km/s. The Bz component of the IMF varied 
between +6/-4nT during the last 24 hours. Region 2056 (N4) which 
previously produced M-flare(s) is due to return around 1 Jun.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 01 Jun : 
      Darwin               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 International Center for Space Weather 
Science and Education, Japan.

      Depressed by 40% during local night.
      Depressed by 20% after local dawn.
   Southern Australian and New Zealand Region:
      Depressed by 20% during local day.
      Near predicted monthly values during local night.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
02 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values
03 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values
04 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values

COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 26 was issued on 30 May 
and is current for 31 May to 2 Jun. Variable depressions to 40% 
observed in the Australian region due to declining EUV levels 
resulting from a decrease in active regions on the Sun. Expect 
similar conditions over the next three days. Note MUFs are expected 
to remain lower than predicted due to this decrease in EUV.
