COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 1-Jul was R0, with no solar 
flares. There are currently eight numbered sunspot regions on 
the solar disk. Regions 4123 (S28W36, beta), 4126 (N07W65, beta) 
and 4129 (N02E26, beta) have shown minor growth in the past day, 
however all regions are generally small and stable. Solar activity 
is generally expected to be R0 over 2-4 Jul.

 No CMEs were observed in available imagery. 

S0 solar radiation storm conditions were observed on UT day 1-Jul. 
S0 solar radiation storm conditions are expected over 2-4 Jul. 

The solar wind environment on UT day 1-Jul was steady. The solar wind 
speed ranged from 546 to 415 km/s and is on a declining trend. The 
peak total interplanetary field strength (IMF, Bt) was 6 nT and the
 north-south IMF component range (Bz) was +6 to -6 nT. The solar 
wind is expected to become mildly perturbed early 2-Jul due to the 
arrival of a weak CME. A coronal hole may connect with Earth by late 
3-Jul to enhance the solar wind speed, however this feature may be too high a 
latitude to have any influence.

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: ASWFC Geomagnetic Warning 49 was issued on 30 June and 
is current for 2 Jul only. G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed 
in the Australian and Antarctic regions on UT day 1-Jul. G0-G1 
geomagnetic conditions are expected over 2-4 Jul; a weak CME 
is expected to arrive nearly on 2-Jul, and then a coronal hole 
is expected to connect with Earth by late 3-Jul or else on 4-Jul.

COMMENT: Global HF radio propagation conditions on UT day 1-Jul 
were normal to mildly degraded, with depressions around 15% common, 
especially in the southern hemisphere. HF radio propagation conditions 
are expected to be normal to mildly degraded over 2-4 Jul, initially 
due to weak CME activity and then due to coronal hole activity.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
02 Jul    80    Near predicted values to 20% depressed
03 Jul    75    Near predicted values to 20% depressed
04 Jul    75    Near predicted values to 20% depressed

COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) in the Australian 
region on UT day 1-Jul were near predicted values to 20% depressed. 
Conditions in the northern Australian regions, and also in Canberra, 
during local nighttime hours were generally degraded. Strong 
spread-F was observed at Hobart during local nighttime. MUFs 
are expected to be near predicted values to 20% depressed over 
2-4 Jul, initially due to CME activity and then due to coronal 
hole activity by the end of the period.
