COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 02-Jun was at the R1 level 
due to an M2.0 flare at 02/0850UT and an M1.2 flare at 02/0450UT. 
Both R1 flares were produced by AR3697 (S18E01, gamma-delta). 
There are currently eight numbered sunspot regions visible on 
the solar disk and one unnumbered region. AR3697 is the most 
magnetically complex region but has shown some decay in its leader 
and trailer spots. AR3701 (S04E19, beta) has exhibited spot development 
over the UT day. An unnumbered region recently appeared near 
S12E35 (beta) and has exhibited spot growth. All other sunspot 
regions are either stable or in decay. Solar activity is expected 
to be at R1-R2 levels over 03-05 Jun. No Earth-directed CMEs 
have been observed. The halo CME observed at 01/1912UT has been 
assessed to be a farside event and not geoeffective. A southwest 
CME observed at 01/2000UT was modelled and shows a weak glancing 
impact is possible on 04-Jun. The solar wind speed on UT day 
02-Jun mildly declined, ranging from 300 to 345 km/s and is currently 
near 325 km/s. The peak total interplanetary field strength (IMF, 
Bt) was 6 nT and the north-south IMF component (Bz) range was 
+4 to -5 nT. The solar wind speed is expected to remain at background 
levels over 03-05 Jun, with a mild increase possible on 04-Jun 
due to a weak CME arrival.

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 Antarctic regions on UT day 02-Jun. G0 geomagnetic conditions 
are expected over 03-05 Jun. A weak glancing impact from a CME 
first observed on 01-Jun may mildly increase geomagnetic activity 
on 04-Jun.
