Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period June 29 - July 7, 2016


Unsettled: Jun 30 - Jul 02, 04 - 05
Active:  Jul 03 - 04
Minor storm: possible Jul 03
Major storm:0
Severe storm: 0

Geomagnetic activity summary:
Geomagnetic field is currently quiet. We expected active conditions
between July 2 - 4 when fast solar wind can influence the Earth
magnetosphere. 27 days ago, active conditions reached locally K=5 (Budkov
observatory) but it is less probable.
After the possible active episode, we expect return of quiet to unsettled
conditions to the end of forecasted time.
