Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jul 19 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity remained very low, and no Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low on 19-21 Jul.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at moderate to high levels, with a maximum flux of 1,920 pfu at 18/1905 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux continued at background values.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach moderate to high levels on 19-21 Jul, while the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters reflected a background solar wind regime. Solar wind speed averaged near 375 km/s, total field strength ranged from 1 to 6 nT, and the Bz component underwent mainly weak deviations. The phi angle was predominantly in a positive sector through 19/0000 UTC, when it switched to a mostly negative orientation.
Forecast: Solar wind conditions are expected to continue at mostly background levels on 19-21 Jul under a quiet solar wind regime.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain predominantly quiet on 19-21 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.
