And you may expect continued good conditions.
An item from the Nordic Shortwave Service:

                          Experience has shown that solar storms not
                          only dampens a lot of radio signals, they also
                          opens now possibilities for weaker tropical
stations.
                          One possible explanation to this is that while
signals from the tropical
                          regions also are affected by the solar storm,
they are not affected as much
                          as other signals around the polar regions, thus
reaching farther than usual.
                          So give a try, see if you can hear some unusual
stations from
                          Indonesia/Central Africa or Peru/Bolivia.
                          The present flare on the Sun is a large one,
covering between 12.5 and 24.7
                          square degrees on the Sun's surface. The assumed
coronal mass ejection
                          from this major flare is expected to strike the
Earth sometime on August 27,
                          according to Solar Terrestrial Dispatch.
