COMMENT: Solar activity has been at moderate levels during the 
last 24 hours. One M1 flare was observed from region 2077(S08E17). 
This flare peaked at 0409UT.Solar wind speed mostly stayed between 
300 and 320 km/s during the first half of the UT day today and 
went up to around 360 km/s during the second half. The Bz component 
of IMF varied between +/-7 nT during this day, staying positive 
during most parts of the day. Minor coronal hole effects may 
keep the solar wind stream slightly enhanced during the next 
three days. Low levels of solar activity with the possibility 
of M-class activity may be expected during the next three days.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 03 Jun : 
      Darwin               4   (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.

COMMENT: Variable depressions in MUFs were observed 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.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
04 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values
05 Jun    60    15 to 30% below predicted monthly values
06 Jun    60    10 to 20% below predicted monthly values

COMMENT: IPS HF Communications Warning 27 was issued on 3 June 
and is current for 3-4 Jun. Variable depressions to 20% 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.
