Over the past reporting week, November 17 to 23, average daily
sunspot numbers decreased from 28.7 to 14.1. Average daily solar
flux decreased from 78.5 to 77.1, although last weeks bulletin
erroneously reported average solar flux for the November 10 to 16
period as 45.8. Thanks to several sharp eyed readers who caught
this, including IK2AGX, G8XTJ, AA2F, K6MSM, and N8II.  Average daily
planetary A index shifted from 12.7 to 6.4, and average mid latitude
A index changed from 10.1 to 4.7.  Predicted solar flux from NOAA is
79 on November 25 and 26, 80 on November 27 to 29, 79 on November 30
through December 1, 84 on December 2 to 4, 80 on December 5 to 7, 78
on December 8, 76 on December 9 to 14, 75 on December 15 to 18, 78
on December 19, 80 on December 20 to 22, 82 on December 23 to 28 and
84 on December 29 to 31.  Predicted planetary A index is 20, 12 and
10 on November 25 to 27, 8 on November 28 and 29, and then 10 and 8
on November 30 through December 1.  Next its 5 on December 2 to 6,
then 15, 12, 18, 20 and 10 on December 7 to 11, 5 on December 12 to
17, then 8, 15 and 30 on December 18 to 20, then 25, 15 and 12 on
December 21 to 23, 8 on December 24 to 26, and 5 on December 27 to
31.  OK1HH sent the following geomagnetic forecast on behalf of the
Czech Propagation Interest Group for the period November 25 to
December 21, 2016, Geomagnetic field will be, Quiet on December 3 to
6, 14 to 16 Mostly quiet on November 28, December 1 and 2, 13, 17
and 18 Quiet to unsettled on November 27, 30 Quiet to active on
November 25 and 26, 29, December 7, 9. 10 to 12, 19, 21 Active to
disturbed on December 8, 20 Increased solar wind from coronal holes
is expected on November 25 to 27, December 9 to 15, 18 to 21
Reliability of predictions is reduced at present.  Thanks to Paul
Merrill, W7IV for this fascinating article from NPR about space
weather, //n.pr/2fCGp8F .  Thanks to David Moore for this site,
//shar.es/18maoo .  Bil Paul, KD6JUI sent this, Sunspot numbers were
27, 28, 22, 11, 0, 0, and 11, with a mean of 28.7. 10.7 cm flux was
78.6, 77.6, 76.8, 76.4, 75, 77.3, and 77.7, with a mean of 78.5.
Estimated planetary A indices were 4, 3, 3, 4, 6, 12, and 13, with a
mean of 12.7.  Estimated mid latitude A indices were 2, 3, 2, 2, 4,
9, and 11, with a mean of 10.1.
