Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period September 1 - September 7, 2017


Quiet: Sep 5 - 7
Unsettled: Sep 2 - 5
Active:    Sep 1 - 2, 4 - 5
Minor storm: Sep 1
Major storm: 0
Severe storm: 0

Geomagnetic activity summary:
Beecause of large coronal hole reaching the equatorial solar latitudes, we
expect the active conditions in the two coming days. Tomorrow (Septermber
1) we expect possible storming effect but the local K-index should not
exceed value 5.
We expect unsettled to active conditions  between September 2 and
September 4. At the end of this unsettled event, active episode is
possible about September 4 because of coronal hole CIR.
Since September 5, we expect geomagnetic activity decrease to quiet to
unsettled conditions.
