Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period May 15 - 21, 2015

After the main active episode in the last two years, we expect at the
Budkov observatory quiet to unsettled conditions at the May 15 - 16.
May 17 - 18, unsettled conditions with possible active episode are
expectable. The unsettled conditions are expected also in the days May 18
- 20 because the near-equatorial coronal hole.
The last day of forecasted weeek, we expect quite to unsettled conditions.
