SUMMARY FOR 05 JUNE AND FORECAST FOR 06 JUNE - 08 JUNE
STATUS INDICATORS SOL:GREEN   MAG:GREEN     ION: ** YELLOW **
-----------------------------------------------------------
1A. SOLAR SUMMARY
Activity 05 Jun:  Very low

Flares: none.

Observed 10.7 cm flux/Equivalent Sunspot Number for 05 Jun:  79/19


1B. SOLAR FORECAST
             06 Jun             07 Jun             08 Jun
Activity     Very low           Very low           Very low
Fadeouts     None expected      None expected      None expected
10.7cm/SSN    78/17              78/17              82/23

COMMENT: Solar flare activity was Very Low over the past 24 hours. 
There are currently no numbered regions on the visible disc. 
Solar wind speed gradually increased over the UT day under the 
influence of a equatorial located, negative polarity, coronal 
hole high speed stream. Solar wind was ~330km/s from 0000UT to 
0845UT after which it began to increase to be ~550km/s at the 
time of this report. Solar wind speed is expected to remain elevated 
at these levels over the next 24 hours. The north south component 
of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) had 2 notable sustained 
southward periods, first being from 0715UT-0845UT ranging between 
-5nT and -9nT and then from 1230UT to 1330UT ranging from -10nT 
to -15nT. B_Total reached a maximum of 20nT at 14UT and has since 
decreased to be 7nT while Bz is -2nT at the time of this report. 
Expect Very Low to Low solar activity for the next 3 days with 
the chance of C-class flares.

Observed Regional daily pc3 Indices 05 Jun :

      Townsville           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.

08 Jun     5    Quiet

COMMENT: IPS Geomagnetic Warning 22 was issued on 4 June and 
is current for 5-6 Jun. Quiet to Unsettled conditions observed 
over the Australian region during the last 24 hours. Geomagnetic 
conditions ranging from Unsettled to Active periods for 06Jun 
while solar speed remains elevated due to the prevailing influence 
of the recent arrival of a high speed solar wind stream from 
a recurrent, negative polarity equatorial located coronal hole. 
Quiet to Unsettled conditions expected for 07Jun and mostly Quiet 
conditions expected for 08Jun.

COMMENT: Depressed MUF periods observed for Low to Mid latitudes 
over the last 24 hours with otherwise mostly normal HF propagation 
conditions. Disturbed ionospheric support for high latitudes 
due to increased geomagnetic activity. Similar conditions expected 
for Low latitudes over the next 3 days. Variable HF conditions 
expected for Mid latitudes with possible enhancements to notable 
MUF depressions on 06Jun with return to normal conditions expected 
from 07Jun onwards. Fair to Poor HF conditions expected for High 
latitudes over the next 3 days.

depressed for Southern Australia/NZ regions, with disturbed periods 
in the Antarctic. Similar conditions are expected on 06Jun for 
Equatorial and Northern Australian regions. Variable ionospheric 
support for Southern Australia/NZ region for 06Jun-07Jun ranging 
from periods of enhancement to notable MUF depressions of ~20%, 
returning to near predicted monthly values from 08Jun. Poor HF 
conditions expected Antarctic regions for the next 3 days.
