Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Oct 31 1230 UTC.

Solar Activity

24 hr Summary: Solar activity decreased to very low levels this period. Both Regions 2778 (S21W75, Cao/beta) and 2779 (S16W65, Bxo/beta) underwent area and spot decay and were mostly quiet. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.

Forecast: C-class flare activity is likely, with a slight chance for isolated M-class flare activity, over 31 Oct-02 Nov.

Energetic Particle

24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a peak flux of 8,658 pfu observed at 30/1705 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels.

Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels on 31 Oct-02 Nov and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels.

Solar Wind

24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters decreased to nominal levels this period. Total field strength reached 6 nT while the Bz component reached -6 nT. Solar wind speeds ranged between 400-450 km/s. Phi angle was highly variable throughout the period.

Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to become enhanced on 01 Nov due to the anticipated arrival of a CME from 27 Oct.

Geospace

24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.

Forecast: Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on 31 Oct-02 Nov, with isolated periods of active conditions likely on 01 Nov due to the anticipated arrival of the 27 Oct CME.
