Here is this week's space weather and geophysical report, issued 2018 Oct 22 0041 UTC.
Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 15 - 21 October 2018
Solar activity was very low this period under a spotless solar disk. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed during the summary period.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 16-20 Oct and was at moderate levels on 15 and 21 Oct.
Geomagnetic field activity reached unsettled levels on 15 Oct due to waning, negative polarity CH HSS influence. The geomagnetic field was quiet throughout the remainder of the period.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 22 October - 17 November 2018
Solar activity is expected to be very low throughout the outlook period.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 22-25 Oct, 04-09 and 12-16 Nov with moderate flux levels expected throughout the remainder of the period.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm levels on 03-04 Nov with active levels expected on 29 Oct and 05-06 Nov due to the influence of recurrent CH HSSs.
