Geomagnetic Activity Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. D. Stratwarm: Stratwarm alert exists stratwarm Sunday Lower stratosphere circulation remains disturbed as a result of the major warming. Reversed temperature gradient up to 20 hpa. The vortex is weakening and becoming less disturbed. Slow transition to summer conditions most probable. E.
