Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Jun 18 1230 UTC.

Solar Activity

24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available satellite imagery.

Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low on 18-20 Jun.

Energetic Particles

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 18-20 Jun.

Solar Wind

24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were observed at background levels with total field strength 6 nT or less and wind speeds falling below 300 km/s. The phi angle was in a predominately positive sector through about 18/0300 UTC when it rotated to a negative orientation.

Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to be at or near background levels for 18-20 Jun.

Geospace

24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.

Forecast: Mostly quiet conditions are expected on 18-20 Jun under an ambient solar wind regime.
