Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period May 6 - May 12, 2016


Quiet: May 5-6
Unsettled: May 7 - 8, 12
Active:  May 8 - 10
Minor storm: possible May 10 - 11
Major storm:0
Severe storm: 0

Geomagntic activity summary:
Solar wind velocity has still decreasing course. Starting the new week, we
expect quiet conditions in the coming three days. At the end of weekend,
we expect active conditions arrival because of coronal hole HSS. The
active period is like between May 9-11 peaking at the Midnight May 10/11.
Minor storm occurence is in this time possible also at our latitudes.
