As a followup to an earlier prediction was made (by someone posting using my name) that the space weather would probably be excellent this morning, with K index values of 0 at mid-latitudes in the northern hemisphere, I beg to report the following:
K index at Boulder, CO on 02/02/2002:
0-3 : K = 3
3-6 : K = 4
6-9 : K= 5
9-12: K =3
I think it is fair to say that the forecast using only the 27 day period of space weather patterns turned out to be SLIGHTLY mistaken.
