Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period November 18 - November 24, 2016


Quiet: Nov 18
Unsettled: Nov 18 - 20, 24
Active: Nov 22 - 24
Minor storm: probable Nov 21 - 22
Major storm:possible Nov 21
Severe storm: 0

Geomagnetic activity summary:
The first trhee days, we expect still quiet to unsettled conditions. We
expect the active conditions at he second half of forecasted period when
the activity can reach major storm level. The maximum of geomagnetic
activity (minor to major storm) is expected at Nov 21, the local K-index
at the Budkov observatory can reach or exceed K=5. The following days, we
expect unsettled to active conditions and, the last one, decrease to
unsettled level.
