Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Nov 04 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity reached low levels as Region 2781 (S25E61, Ehi/beta) produced a couple of C1 flares, and several B-level enhancements during the period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to continue at very low levels on 04-06 Nov, with C-class flares likely all three days.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate 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 normal to moderate on 04-06 Nov, and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters continued at ambient, background levels. Total field strength averaged near 4 nT, while the Bz component was benign. Solar wind speeds were below 350 km/s, and the phi angle was solidly in a positive orientation.
Forecast: A slow solar wind regime is anticipated to continue through 05 Nov. A weak enhancement from a negative polarity CH HSS is expected on 06 Nov.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: Geomagnetic activity was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to remain primarily quiet on 04-05 Nov. Isolated unsettled periods are expected on 06 Nov due to weak CH HSS influences.

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.
