Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jul 12 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. No sunspots were present on the visible disk and no Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels on 12-14 Jul.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a peak flux of 5,900 pfu observed at 11/1625 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at moderate to high levels for the forecast period (12-14 Jul). 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 waning CH HSS effects. Solar wind speed slowly declined through the period from approximately 500 km/s to near 450 km/s. Total field was steady between 4-6 nT while the Bz component varied weakly between +2/-4 nT. Phi angle was oriented in a predominately positive (away) solar sector.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to remain slightly enhanced on 12 Jul as positive polarity CH HSS conditions slowly diminish. A return to nominal levels is expected on 13-14 Jul.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels under waning CH HSS effects.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to isolated unsettled levels on 12 Jul as HSS effects continue to diminish. Mostly quiet conditions are expected on 13-14 Jul.

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.
