0 = no propagation, 9 = excellent propagation, Es = Sporadic-E propagation
TREND: >2000km propagation is expected to remain very poor. There is a little chance for occasional openings across the middle and lower latitudes, and along the grey line. Conditions are at normal levels because of a mostly unsettled geomagnetic activity. Some F2 openings possible in the northern hemisphere and partially southern hemisphere, because of seasonal influences. <2000km is still improving in the southern hemisphere with strong signals, as the Es (Sporadic-E) season is nearing it's peak around the end of the month. Multihop-Es above 1800km distance is possible during the morning and late evening. In the northern hemisphere occasional Es can be expected.
How to read this table:
Under or next to latitude you can read the first letter for your hemisphere (N = Northern, S = Southern). The next two numbers are the latitudes. For example if your QTH is Berlin (Germany), you are in the northern hemisphere (N) at 52° latitude, you can read your latitude in the left column (N 45-65°). If you want to make DX to for example Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), that location is in the southern hemisphere (S) at 23° latitude, you can read the latitude in the upper row (S 20-25°). The corresponding number indicates what is forecasted for propagation (0 = no propagation, 9 = excellent propagation).
