Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Jul 24 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was 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 24-26 Jul.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal, and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux continued at background values.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to remain normal, with a chance for moderate levels 24-26 Jul. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters reflected a weak enhancement early in the period, followed by a return to background conditions. Solar wind speed began the period near 375 km/s, increased to ~435 km/s, then returned to just over 380 km/s by the end of the period. Total field strength averaged near 4 nT, while the Bz component averaged +/- 3 nT. The phi angle was predominantly negative, with isolated rotations into a positive orientation.
Forecast: A background solar wind regime is expected on 24-26 Jul, with possible weak enhancements associated with multiple small, weak coronal holes.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be predominantly quiet 24-26 Jul, with isolated unsettled periods likely.

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.
