COMMENT: Solar activity on UT day 24-Jun was R0. There is currently 
no significant solar region on the visible solar disk. Solar 
regions AR4117 (S14W11, beta) and nearby AR4118 (S13W02, beta) 
have both further slightly declined. The largest flare was a 
C3.1 from AR4117 at 24/1545UT. Other regions are very small. 
Two of these smaller regions AR4120 (S11E18, beta) and AR4121 
(N06W04, beta) are growing. There are currently five numbered 
sunspot regions on the solar disk and a new small unnumbered 
region. Solar activity is expected to be R0 over 25-27 Jun. No 
Earth directed CMEs were observed in available imagery on UT 
day 24-Jun. A sequence of narrow faint minor CMEs were observed 
during the interval 24/0900-1400UT and are considered far side 
activity. S0 solar radiation storm conditions were observed on 
UT day 24-Jun. S0 solar radiation storm conditions are expected 
over 25-27 Jun. A large equatorial coronal hole is just west 
of the solar central meridian. The solar wind speed on 24-Jun 
slightly increased. The solar wind speed ranged from 470 to 405 
km/s and is currently at 450 km/s. The peak total interplanetary 
field strength (IMF, Bt) was 8 nT and the north-south IMF component 
range (Bz) was +5 to -6 nT. The solar wind environment is expected 
to become further enhanced on 25-26 Jun due to a coronal hole 
wind stream from the equatorial coronal hole.

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 47 was issued on 23 June and 
is current for 24-26 Jun. G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed 
on UT day 24-Jun in the Australian and Antarctic regions. A coronal 
hole wind stream is expected to induce G1 geomagnetic activity 
over 25-26 Jun.

26 Jun      Normal         Fair-normal    Fair
27 Jun      Normal         Normal-fair    Fair

COMMENT: HF radio propagation conditions were fair to normal 
on UT day 24-Jun. HF radio propagation conditions are expected 
to be fair over 25-26 Jun for middle to high latitudes due to 
anticipated geomagnetic activity induced by a coronal hole wind 
stream. Normal HF conditions are expected at low latitudes.

4B. AUSTRALIAN REGION IONOSPHERIC FORECAST
Date   T index  MUFs
25 Jun    80    Depressed 10 to 15%/near predicted monthly values
26 Jun    65    Depressed 15 to 20%/near predicted monthly values
27 Jun    80    Depressed 10 to 15%/near predicted monthly values

COMMENT: Maximum usable frequencies (MUFs) in the Australian 
region on UT day 24-Jun were generally 15 to 30% depressed. Spread 
F was observed at Canberra, Hobart and Brisbane during local 
hight hours. Degraded HF conditions were observed in the Antarctic 
region. MUFs are expected to be 10-20% depressed to near predicted 
monthly values 25-26 Jun, with degraded HF conditions for the 
southern Australian region over 25-26 Jun during local night 
hours due to expected geomagnetic activity from a coronal hole 
wind stream.
