Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Jul 30 1230 UTC.

Solar Activity

24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. Both Region 2767 (S20W40, Hsx/alpha) and Region 2768 (N26E47, Hsx/alpha) were mostly quiet and exhibited 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 the next three days.

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 the next three days.

Solar Wind

24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, continued to reflect nominal conditions. Total field strength averaged near 5 nT and the Bz component saw a maximum southward deflection to - 7 nT. Solar wind speeds were between 320 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 the next three days.

Geospace

24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.

Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet for the next three days.
