Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2022 Oct 31 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was low this period. All three regions with spots produced C-class flare activity, and were either stable or in decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected.
Forecast: Solar activity is likely to be low over 31 Oct-02 Nov.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels with a peak flux of 3,720 pfu observed at 30/1735 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was at background levels.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels on 31 Oct-02 Nov and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background levels.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Continued, but weakening positive polarity CH HSS influences prevailed this period. Total field strength was steady near 5 nT and Bz ranged from +4/-5 nT. Wind speeds decreased gradually from between 500-550 km/s early this period to between 450-500 km/s by the end of the period.
Forecast: Enhanced solar wind conditions are expected to prevail over 31 Oct-02 Nov due to sustained positive polarity CH HSS influences.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to active under positive polarity CH HSS influences.
Forecast: Active conditions are expected on 31 Oct-02 Nov due to positive polarity CH HSS influences and a turbulent solar wind environment.

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.
