Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jul 21 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity remained very low with a spotless visible disk. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low on 21-23 Jul.
Energetic Particles
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at moderate to high levels with a maximum flux of 1,846 pfu observed at 20/1815 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 21 Jul, decreasing to normal to moderate levels on 22-23 Jul. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters, as measured by the ACE spacecraft, indicated nominal conditions. Solar winds speeds were between 315-360 km/s. Total magnetic field strength ranged from 3-5 nT. Phi angle was predominantly oriented in the positive sector after 20/1320 UTC.
Forecast: Mostly nominal wind parameters are expected until early on 23 Jul, when mild influence from a negative polarity CH HSS is anticipated.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to persist at quiet levels on 21-22 Jul. Unsettled conditions are likely on 23 Jul in response to weak influence from a negative 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.
