[ips-sf] SWS Summary Forecast for 02 January - issued 2345UT/01-Jan-2017 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[rwc]

Very low solar flare activity is expected for today 2 January. The
Earth is currently under the influence of moderately elevated solar
wind streams from a positive polarity coronal hole. However, the
coronal hole effects are expected to wane from today. The geomagnetic
conditions at earth are expected to be between quiet to unsettled
levels today. High-frequency radio communications users are advised to
use lower than monthly predicted frequencies today, as the ionosphere
gradually recovers from 1 January active geomagnetic conditions caused
by the coronal hole.
