Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Jun 15 1230 UTC.

Solar Activity

24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. Region 2765 (S25W79, Hsx/alpha) was stable and quiet. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low on 15-17 Jun.

Energetic Particle

24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal to moderate and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels.

Forecast: Both the greater than 2 MeV electron and the greater than 10 MeV proton fluxes are expected to remain below event thresholds on 15-17 Jun.

Solar Wind

24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were at nominal levels. Solar wind speed ranged from 290-316 km/s. Total field ranged from 2-5 nT while the Bz component was between +/-3 nT. Phi angle was oriented in a positive (away) solar sector.

Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to be at or near nominal levels on 15 Jun. A solar sector boundary crossing (SSBC) preceding a negative polarity CH HSS is expected to enhance solar wind parameters on 16-17 Jun.

Geospace

24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.

Forecast: Mostly quiet conditions are expected on 15 Jun. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected on 16-17 Jun due to SSBC/CH HSS activity.
