COMMENT: Solar flare activity on UT day 01-Jun was at the R0 
level, with no significant flaring activity. There are currently 
nine numbered active regions (ARs) visible on the solar disk. 
AR 4455 (N15E12, beta) is the largest region on the disk and 
has shown minor spot development in its trailer spots over the 
UT day. AR 4446 (S13N48, beta) has exhibited development in its 
trailer spots. Newly numbered region 4458 (S09E20, beta) recently 
appeared on the solar disk and has shown rapid spot development. 
A second newly numbered region 4459 (N11E60, beta) recently appeared 
and has shown mild growth. All other regions are either stable 
or in decay. Solar flare activity is expected to be at the R0 
level over 02-04 Jun, with a chance of R1. S0 solar radiation 
storm conditions were observed on UT day 01-Jun. S0 solar radiation 
storm conditions are expected over 02-04 Jun. No Earth-directed 
coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been observed. The solar wind 
speed on UT day 01-Jun decreased, ranging from 460 to 385 km/s 
and is currently near 395 km/s. The peak total interplanetary 
magnetic field strength (IMF, Bt) was 7 nT and the north-south 
IMF component (Bz) range was -7 to 0 nT. Southward IMF conditions 
were observed for most of the UT day, with the strongest observed 
over the interval 01/1212-1546UT. The solar wind speed is expected 
to remain near background levels on 02-Jun, then increase late 
on 03-Jun due to coronal hole high speed wind stream effects 
from a small 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: G0 geomagnetic conditions were observed in the Australian 
and planetary regions on UT day 01-Jun. Mostly G0 geomagnetic 
conditions were observed in the Antarctic region, with an isolated 
period of G1 observed at Macquarie Island. G0 planetary geomagnetic 
conditions are expected over 02-04 Jun, with a chance of G1 on 
03-Jun due to coronal hole high speed wind stream effects from 
a small equatorial coronal hole.
