COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 22-Jun was R1. An M1 flare 
was observed from beyond the eastern limb, possibly from ex-region 
AR3697 that has a history of X-flares; this region is due to 
return today. An M2 flare was also observed from AR3716 (N11W68, 
beta). There are currently five numbered sunspots regions on 
the visible solar disk. Most regions have shown some minor redistribution 
in their trailer spots, but AR3719 (S15E30, beta-gamma) is the 
only region with any noticeable growth. Solar activity is expected 
to be R0-R1 with a chance for R2 over 23-25 Jun.

 A CME was observed off the eastern solar limb from 21/2348 UT and 
is not expected to be geoeffective. No other CMEs were observed on 
UT day 22-Jun. A large filament spanning the southwestern solar quadrant remains

stable and in tact, but will continue to be monitored closely. 

S0 solar radiation storm conditions were observed on UT day 22-Jun. 
S0 solar radiation storm conditions are expected over 23-25 Jun. 

The solar wind environment was at background levels on UT day 
22-Jun. The solar wind speed continued its decline and ranged 
from 370 km/s to near 300 km/s. The peak total interplanetary 
field strength (IMF, Bt) was 6 nT and the north-south IMF component 
range (Bz) was +3 to -1 nT. The solar wind is expected to be 
near background levels over 23-25 Jun.

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 
region on UT day 22-Jun. Mostly G0 conditions were observed in 
Antarctica, with an isolated period of G1 at Mawson. G0 geomagnetic 
conditions are expected over 23-25 Jun.
