Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period March 13 - 19, 2015
During Fri - Sat, we expect active conditions (for Budkov observatory, the K-index should reach 4).
At the Sunday, Mar 15, when the most active episode should pass over, we expect at most unsettled conditions. Mar 16 - 17, quiet to unsettled conditions are mostly exxpected. The last two days, we expect at most unsettled conditions with active episode possible.
