Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jul 08 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. Region 2744 (S27E30, Bxo/beta) was quiet and stable. At 08/0603 UTC, Learmonth reported a weak, impulsive 75 sfu Tenflare. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels on 08-10 Jul.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal levels while the greater than 10 MeV proton flux continued at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal levels on 08-09 Jul, increasing to moderate levels on 10 Jul due to enhanced wind speeds from a CH HSS. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels on 08-10 Jul.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels over the period. Solar wind speed slowly declined through the period from 350 to 300 km/s. Total field ranged from 1-5 nT while the Bz component was mostly negative to -5 nT. Phi angle was variable through about 07/2000 UTC and predominately negative thereafter.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to become enhanced around midday on 09 Jul as a positive polarity CH HSS is likely to become geoeffective. Enhanced solar wind conditions are expected to persist through 10 Jul.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: Mostly quiet conditions are expected for the remainder of 08 Jul. On 09-10 Jul, conditions are expected to increase to unsettled to active levels with the onset of a positive polarity CH HSS.

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.
