Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period September 14 - September 21, 2017


Quiet: Sep 18 - 19, 21
Unsettled: Sep 17 - 21
Active:    Sep 14 - 16
Minor storm: Sep 14 - 15
Major storm: 0
Severe storm: 0

Geomagnetic activity summary:
Because of two CMEs last week, we expect active (with possible minor storm
event) conditions in the next three days. We expect these conditions to
September 16, then, we expect geomagnetic activity decrease to unsettled
level.
An isolated active episode is also possible about September 20. Then, we
expect quiet to unsettled conditions return.
