In fact what I have to say may be completely irrelevant and may be totally wrong. No boubt someone will put me right. The only differences I can see during this period is a higher than normal level of proton flux arising from a Proton Event starting at 0245 UTC on 2nd june which kept the figure high for two days. As the level was steadily decaying towards normal there was a second Proton Event about 0930 UTC on 4 june which again raised the levels. After steady decay normal levels were reached again this morning. peter G8AFN
