Activity in past Junes
No whole Kp puts the average oval edge over Traralgon by SWPC's rule, so the GFZ record has no threshold to count for June. Traralgon sits at 45.0 degrees geomagnetic. The lowest NOAA storm level whose typical viewing latitude reaches it is G4 (Kp = 8, including a 9-). Even Kp 9 does not put the average oval edge overhead by SWPC's rule.
June across Australia
Coming from May (12.9 hours at Traralgon), June adds darkness, and July brings shorter nights (13.2 hours on the 15th). The June solstice falls on June 22, 00:07 Traralgon time.
