Geomagnetic activity summary:
Because of the last large equatorial coronal hole, we expect at most unsettled conditions at the two coming days. Although the activity can be at quiet to unsettled level, at Friday, December 7, an isolated active event is possible. The other active episode is possible between December 9 and December 10.
After these unsettled episodes, we expect at most quiet conditions return since December 11.
