Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period August 28 - September 3, 2015

Currently, an active episode seems to be going to end. Nevertheless, two
following days, we expect at most unsettled conditions with isolated
active event possible.
During the weekend, quiet to unsettled conditions are probable.
At Aug 31 and Sep 1, we expect at most unsettled conditions.
The last days of forecasted week (Sep 2-3) unsettled to active conditions
are possible because of equatorial coronal hole positive charged.
