I just recently started reading these updates and find them interesting. However, there are three sections that could be better presented to make the data easier to read, namely, the Predicted Solar Flux, Planetary A Index and Sunspot Numbers.

Throwing the numbers together in a paragraph can make it harder--especially for newbies, like me--to assimilate the information.  A tabular arrangement would be more logical for this type of data.  For example, here's the Predicted Solar Flux as a table:

Predicted Solar flux
-------------------------------------------------
September    06 - 235       September    26 - 235
September 07-08 - 225       September    27 - 230
September 09-13 - 230       September    28 - 225
September    14 - 250       September    29 - 230
September    15 - 255       September    30 - 240
September    16 - 245       October      01 - 245
September    17 - 240       October      02 - 250
September    18 - 235       October   03-04 - 240
September    19 - 240       October   05-06 - 245
September    20 - 245       October   07-10 - 240
September 21-22 - 240       October      11 - 250
September 23-24 - 245       October      12 - 255
September    25 - 240

A similar approach could be taken with the other two sections mentioned
earlier.

Hope this has been helpful.  Later daze!
