[ips-sf] SWS Summary Forecast for 08 January - issued 2343UT/07-Jan-2017 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[rwc]

Very low solar flare activity is expected for today, 8 January. Very
strong solar wind. Geomagnetic conditions are expected to be mostly at
unsettled to active levels due to the recurrent coronal hole.
High-frequency radio communications are fair to poor. High-frequency
radio communications users are advised to use lower than monthly
predicted frequencies today because the ionosphere is under the
influence of the very strong solar wind and the HF conditions may
degrade further as a consequence of the recent geomagnetic activity.
