The suspected coronal stream dit not hit Earth's geomagnetic field yet, so the geomagnetic field remained quiet. Still an unsettled to active geomagnetic field is expected on Sunday. Conditions for Es are expected to be less strong than past two days, but still multihop-Es and combined Es and F2 propagation is well possible with moderate to strong signals and distances ranging from 500 -1800km for normal Es propagation to 8000km for multihop-Es and combined Es-F2.

Moderate to good Es propagation is expected to be present at middle and high latitudes during 70% of the day, peaking locally in the late morning and late afternoon. In the UTC morning multihop-Es propagation is possible from South, Central and East European locations to Eastern Asia. During the UTC afternoon combined Es and F2 could produce weak propagation between Europe and Africa and later in the UTC afternoon and during the UTC evening a small chance for propagation from Europe to South America. From the UTC late afternoon and UTC evening there is a small possibility for propagation between West / Central European / Great Britain and Ireland to the Caribbean, and possibly isolated parts of North America.

Because of an unsettled to active geomagnetic field, an Es path across the North Pole is unlikely to open up..

North America should experience similar conditions, with propagation to the Caribbean, combined Es-F2 to South America, Pacific and  Australia. And a small chance multihop-Es propagation to Europe.

This is the final propagation forecast for the WWRO Island Festival.
