COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 07-Jun reached R1, with the 
largest flare of the day being M4.7 at 1146 UT from AR3327 (S17E29, 
beta-gamma). There are currently 8 numbered sunspot regions on 
the solar disk. AR3327 is currently the most flare active, and 
has produced several high-level C-class flares in addition to 
the M4 flare. This region has grown in the past 24 hours. AR3329 
(N23E28, beta) has also grown over the UT day but has not yet 
produced any significant flares. All other sunspot regions are 
either stable or in decay. Solar activity is expected to be R0-R1, 
with a chance for R2 flares over 08-10 Jun. A filament eruption 
was associated with a C7 flare at 07/0646 UT from AR3327. A CME 
was observed from this region from 07/0700 UT, but is not expected 
to be geoeffective. No other significant CMEs were observed on 
the UT day. The solar wind speed on UT day 07-Jun was steady, 
and ranged between 320 to 417 km/s. The peak total interplanetary 
field strength (IMF, Bt) was 9 nT and the north-south IMF component 
range was +4 to -4 nT. There is a coronal hole in the northern 
solar hemisphere currently near the central meridian. This coronal 
hole may increase solar wind speeds by 10-Jun, but otherwise 
mostly background levels are expected over 08-09 Jun. There is 
a small chance a CME first observed on 04-Jun may cause glancing 
impacts on 08-Jun, but no significant activity is expected from 
this event other than a slight increase to solar wind speeds.

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: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed in the Australian 
and Antarctica regions on 07-Jun. G0 geomagnetic conditions are 
expected over 08-10 Jun, with a possible isolated period of G1 
on 10-Jun due to a coronal hole wind stream.

in middle latitudes, during local night hours. Normal conditions 
were observed during daylight hours. HF conditions are expected 
to be fair to normal over 08-10 Jun, with fair conditions likely 
during local night hours. Isolated shortwave fadeouts are possible.
