Southern Australian Ionospheric F2 critical frequencies were near predicted to 25 per cent enhanced on 4th, 5th and 9th; near predicted on 6th with periods of some enhancement during local night; near predicted to 15 per cent enhanced on 7th and 10th; and depressed 15 per cent to 20 per cent enhanced on 8th.
Forecast for 11th to 17th July.
Solar activity is expected to be very low, with no current active regions or returning regions expected for the forecast period.
Geomagnetic activity should see unsettled to active conditions expected for
11th and 12th due to coronal hole effects. Mostly quiet to unsettled conditions are forecast for the remainder of the week.
