Solar activity is at low levels, and the Solar Flux is expected to range between 100 and 110 during the weekend. Geomagnetic field is currently at quiet levels, but there is a good chance for active to minor storm levels, as two slow moving coronal mass  ejections are expected on Saturday and/or Sunday.

There is a chance for regular F2 long distance propagation in north/south direction, from mid latitudes in the northern hemisphere to higher latitudes in the southern hemisphere.

Good Es propagation can be expect all across the northern hemisphere, with distances ranging form 500km - 1800km. In the early morning multihop- Es can extend this range up to 8000km in (north)east direction, for example Japan to Europe and in the late evening in (north)west direction for example Europe to North Amercia and Caribbean. Conditions are expected to deteriorate when two coronal mass ejections hit the Earth's geomagnetic field,

With solar activity at very low to low levels, and the geomagnetic field at quiet levels in the next 24 hours, conditions seem to be are ideal for Es (Sporadic-E) propagation, multihop-Es and combined Es and F2 propagation with very strong signals and distances ranging from 500 -1800km for normal Es propagation to 8000km for multihop-Es and combined Es-F2.

Next update will be issued on Saturday 4th June at approximately 1500 UTC.
