Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2019 Aug 01 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. There were no sunspots, and there were no Earth-directed CMEs observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low on 01-03 Aug.
Energetic Particles
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal levels, and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background values.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 01 Aug, then increase to moderate to high levels on 02-03 Aug as a result of CH HSS activity.
The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background values.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were indicative of a negative polarity CH HSS. Winds were elevated and ended the period around 520 km/s. Total field peaked around 10 nT, and the Bz component only underwent brief southward deflections of up to -5 nT. The phi angle was predominantly in a negative orientation.
Forecast: Lingering effects of the CH HSS are expected over the remainder of 01 Aug. A return to background levels is anticipated on 02-03 Aug.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
Forecast: Isolated unsettled levels are anticipated on 01 Aug with lingering CH HSS effects. Quiet conditions return for 02-03 Aug.
