SFI = 72   A = 19   K = 2
Conditions during the last 24 hours
No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours.
Forecast for the next 24 hours
No space weather storms are expected for the next 24 hours.

Solar Wind Data
Provides solar wind velocity and energetic particle intensity
Updated at: 2033Z on June 17, 2010
  Velocity (km/s):   502.7
  Density (protons/cm3):     2.7

OK no storms but not normal solar conditions. This will cause issues 
with 600m as we have seen in the USA many nights. I am no solar expert 
but have watched the data and signals on 600m for a bit over a year now 
and noticed differences in propagation with the density figures 
elevated, velocity elevated, and A & K changes above normal values. 
Those figures do change rapidly as seen on this site:
