SUBJ: SWS GEOMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE WARNING 16/19
ISSUED AT 0227UT/14 MAY 2016
BY THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE.

The solar winds are expected to gradually increase starting on

at times reach minor storm levels. In the previous rotation, 
this coronal hole caused AP to reach 21 nT. Similar and maybe 
slightly stronger effects are expected during this rotations. 
The aurora may be visible from as low as some parts of the state 
of Victoria, Australia, on the local night of 15-16 May.

INCREASED GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY EXPECTED
