Propagation Forecast Bulletin #40 de K7RA:

Australia's Space Weather Services issued a geomagnetic warning at
0022 UTC on September 29: "The geomagnetic conditions are expected to vary
between active
levels to major storms for the next three days. This is because the
solar winds are expected to be in excess of 600 km/s associated with
a very large positive polarity coronal hole. The storm intensities
are expected to be slightly stronger than that observed in the
previous two solar rotations (previous rotation Ap was 32)
associated with this coronal hole because the earth-sun coupling
efficiency is highest during the equinox periods. Thus there is
chance that aurora may be visible on the local nights of 29
September from Tasmania and some parts of Victoria, Australia.
