Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Jan 25 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. New Region 2757 (N03E20, Axx/alpha) produced weak B-class activity during the period. B-class activity was also observed from behind the E limb near S30. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels on 25-27 Jan.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was below alert threshold values, and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux continued at background values.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron is expected to be at normal to moderate levels through 27 Jan. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels with solar wind speed between 295-340 km/s. Total field ranged from 2-6 nT while the Bz component varied between +/-4 nT. Phi angle was variable throughout the period.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to continue at nominal levels on 25-27 Jan.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels for the next three days (25-27 Jan).

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.
