Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2018 Jun 08 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was at very low levels. The solar disk was spotless. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels over the next three days (08-10 Jun).
Energetic Particles
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels this period with a peak flux of 2,314 pfu observed at 07/1830 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels throughout the period.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels the next two days (08-09 Jun), then decrease to moderate levels on day three (10 Jun). The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels throughout the forecast period.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters showed a return to nominal conditions. Solar wind speeds averaged near 380 km/s. Total field and Bz were at benign values. Phi was variable.
Forecast: The solar wind environment is expected to be at or near background levels all three days (08-10 Jun).
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: Days one through three (08-10 Jun) are expected to be quiet under a background solar wind regime.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
I am working on launching a YouTube channel overhaul, that includes series of videos about space weather, radio signal propagation, and more.
Additionally, I am working on improving the educational efforts via the email, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, and other activities.
You can help!
