SIDC FORECAST (valid from 1230UT, 29 Mar 2004 until 31 Mar 2004)
SOLAR FLARES  : Eruptive (C-class flares expected, probability >= 50%)
GEOMAGNETISM  : Quiet (A<20 and K<4)
SOLAR PROTONS : Quiet
PREDICTIONS FOR 29 Mar 2004  10CM FLUX: 127 / AP: 015
PREDICTIONS FOR 30 Mar 2004  10CM FLUX: 124 / AP: 012

COMMENT: The solar wind speed has further decreased to from 750 km/s to 600km/s
during the past 24 hours. The interplanetary magnetic field continued to vary
between mildly northwards and mildly southwards (between -5nT and +5nT).
Geomagnetic conditions have therefore remained mostly quiet with locally some
excursions to active conditions. All indications are that we are near the end of
the influence of the coronal hole, so we expect quiet conditions.
Solar activity has again remained low. Only a number of B-flares and small
C-flares have been observed, mostly from Catania sunspot group 93 (NOAA 0582).
We expect solar activity to remain at this low level, with Catania 93 continuing
as the most likely source of flares.
