Saturday 11 Maylast updated 11/0831 UT
Solar activity on UT day 11-May is expected to be at R2-R3 levels. A strong solar wind shock was observed at 10/1637UT, followed by a moderate shock at 10/2139UT, indicative of the arrival of multiple CMEs. The solar wind environment is currently very enhanced. The solar wind speed is expected to be very strong, with additional CME arrivals possible. G4 geomagnetic storm conditions, with a chance of G5 are expected on 11-May. An S1 solar proton event is in progress and is expected to continue for the remainder of 11-May. S2 solar radiation conditions are possible if additional flares occur. HF radio communication conditions are expected to be very poor. Maximum usable frequencies are expected to be depressed 40-50%. Frequent shortwave fadeouts are expected. Auroras may be sighted up to middle latitudes during local night hours on 11-May.
Sunday 12 Maylast updated 11/2333 UT
Solar activity on UT day 12-May is expected to be at R2-R3 levels. The solar wind environment has been extremely enhanced due to recent CME arrivals. The solar wind speed is expected to be very strong. G3 geomagnetic storm conditions are expected on 12-May due to further anticipated CME arrivals. An S1 solar radiation storm is in progress. HF radio communication conditions were very poor during the local day yesterday, conditions are expected to be improved for today, before becoming degraded again during local night hours tonight. Maximum usable frequencies are expected to be near predicted monthly values during the local day today then becoming degraded/depressed conditions during local night hours tonight. Frequent shortwave fadeouts are expected. Further auroral sightings may be possible tonight as far north as southern NSW.
