[ips-sf] SWS Summary Forecast for 23 August - issued 2323UT/22-Aug-2016 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[rwc]

Solar activity has been Very Low over the last 24 hours. The effect of
a high speed solar wind stream from a negative polarity coronal hole
may strengthen the solar wind stream from 24 August. Solar activity is
expected to stay at Very Low levels for the next three days with some
possibility of isolated C-class event. Geomagnetic activity stayed at
Quiet levels today (22 August, UT day). Nearly similar conditions may
be expected for 23 August. Geomagnetic activity may rise to Active
levels on 24 and 25 August due to a coronal hole effect. Mild to
Moderate MUF depressions were observed in the equatorial regions
during the UT day, 22 August. MUFs were near predicted monthly values
for mid and high latitude locations. Nearly similar HF conditions are
likely to continue on 23 August. Further depressions in MUFs and
degradations in HF conditions may be observed on 24 and 25 August due
to expected rise in geomagnetic activity levels on these days.
