Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jun 21 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low and no sunspots were present on the visible disk. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low 21-23 Jun.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background values.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels 21-23 Jun and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were indicative of a mildly disturbed and enhanced, but slow solar wind regime. Total IMF strength ranged from 3 to 8 nT, and the Bz component underwent deflections of up to -5 nT. Solar wind speeds increased during the later half of the period to just under 400 km/s. The phi angle was predominantly negative.
Forecast: The solar wind environment is expected to remain slightly enhanced 21 Jun, and return to nominal conditions for 22-23 Jun.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be primarily quiet, with a likely unsettled period on 21 Jun in reaction to the mildly enhanced and disturbed solar wind environment. A return to primarily quiet conditions is expected for 22-23 Jun in response to the anticipated slow, ambient-background state of the solar wind.

Space Weather and Ham Radio YouTube Channel News:
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.
