Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period December 8 - December 14, 2017


Quiet: Dec 9 - 10
Unsettled: Dec 8, 11 - 14
Active:  possible  Dec 12 - 13
Minor storm:  0
Major storm: 0
Severe storm: 0

Geomagnetic activity summary:
After the last storming event (December 5, at the Budkov observatory, the
local K-index reached value = 5), current geomagnetic activity has
decreasing course to quiet to unsettled level. We expect at most quiet
conditions December 9 - 10, then, we expect unsettled conditons return.
Nevertheless, at most of forecasted period, we expect the geomagnetic
activity between quiet and unsettled level. At the end of forecasted week,
an isolated active event is possible. Nevertheless, the end of forecasted
period should stay at unsettled level.
