daily solar flux increased insignificantly from 67 to 67.3 this
week.  Predicted solar flux is 68 for July 26 through August 1, then
67 on August 2 through September 8.  Predicted planetary A index is
8 on July 26 and 27, 5 on July 28 through August 3, then 8, 15, 15
and 8 on August 4 to 7, 5 on August 8 to 18, 8 on August 19 and 20,
