Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period May 20 - May 26, 2016


Quiet: May 23 - 26
Unsettled: May 20 - 23
Active:  May 19 - 20
Minor storm: possible May 19 - 20
Major storm:0
Severe storm: 0

Geomagntic activity summary:
We expect active conditions the next two days (maximum of geomagnetic
activity is expected at May 20, but, in our longitude, the arrival of
active episode is probable today evenings. e.g. Thursday, May 19).
During the coming weekend, we expected at most unsettled conditions, then,
geomagnetic activity decrease. The second half of forecasted week, we
expect quiet to unsettled conditions return. Next active episode is
expected just in the next period (May 26 - June 2).
