2. FORECAST (27 DECEMBER - 02 JANUARY)
Solar:
R1-R2 level solar activity is expected for 27-Dec to
02-Jan, with a chance of R3 level flaring due to the
large number of complex sunspot regions on the solar
disk.
Geomagnetic:
Predominantly G0 geomagnetic conditions are expected
for the week 27-Dec to 02-Jan. No CME impacts are
currently forecast.
Frequencies:
MUFs in the Australian region are expected to be near
predicted monthly values to 15% enhanced for the week
27-Dec to 02-Jan.
