Solar activity on UT day 13-May is expected to be at R2-R3 levels. The large and complex solar region that has recently produced R3 solar flare and CME activity is nearing the south west solar limb. A weak solar wind shock was observed at 12/0856UT. The solar wind speed is expected to be strong, with an overall declining trend. Planetary G3 and Australian region G2 conditions were observed early in the UT on 12-May as geomagnetic storm activity on 11-May declined. The anticipated further geomagnetic storm activity on 12-May did not eventuate. G1, chance G2 geomagnetic storm conditions are expected on 13-May. No solar radiation storm is in progress. HF radio communication conditions are now expected to be mostly normal for today. Maximum usable frequencies are expected to be near predicted monthly values to 15% enhanced. Frequent shortwave fadeouts are expected.
