SUBJ: IPS GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE WARNING 15/39
ISSUED AT 0009UT/04 SEPTEMBER 2015
BY THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE.

The IMF Bz has been strongly southward over the last 3 hrs (from 
03/2100 UT to present). However, the current solar wind speeds 
are at moderate levels, which are unfavourable to cause any major 
geomagnetic disturbance. If the solar wind speeds elevate in 
the coming 24 hours, active to minor storm conditions are possible. 
If this happens, there is chance that aurora would be visible 
during the local night hours of the 4 Sep from Tasmania and other 
southern most regions of Australia.

INCREASED GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY EXPECTED 
DUE TO CORONAL HOLE HIGH SPEED WIND STREAM
FOR 04 SEPTEMBER 2015
