Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Jul 31 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. Regions 2767 (S21W53, Hsx/alpha) and 2768 (N26E34, Axx/alpha) continued to exhibit signs of weak decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain at very low levels for 31 Jul - 02 Aug.
Energetic Particles
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron and 10 MeV proton fluxes are expected to remain below event threshold for 31 Jul - 02 Aug.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, continued to reflect nominal conditions. Total field strength averaged near 3 nT, the Bz component was between +2/-5 nT, and the solar wind speeds were between 315 and 370 km/s. Phi angle rotated between both phi angle orientations.
Forecast: The solar wind environment is expected to continue at nominal levels for 31 Jul. Enhancements consistent with a recurrent, positive polarity CH HSS are expected on 01-02 Aug.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for 31 Jul and quiet to unsettled, with isolated active periods possible, on 01-02 Aug due to possible CH HSS influence.

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.
