Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2020 Jul 23 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low and Region 2767 (S21E51, Hsx/alpha) was inactive and maintained a simple magnetic configuration. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to remain very low 23-25 Jul.
Energetic Particles
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was normal to moderate and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron and 10 MeV proton fluxes are expected to remain below event thresholds on 23-25 Jul.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters were indicative of a slow regime. Total IMF strength was mostly less than 5 nT and the Bz component underwent only weak deviations. Solar wind speed was primarily 275-325 km/s and the phi angle was positive until 23/0411 UTC when it shifted to a predominantly negative sector.
Forecast: Conditions are expected to become slightly enhanced later on 23 Jul on into 24 Jul due to a CH HSS. Additional, but modest magnetic enhancement, is forecast for 25 Jul with the possible arrival of a slow CME from 19 Jul, embedded in the background solar wind.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels late on 23 Jul into 24 Jul with the arrival of a negative polarity CH HSS. Additional disturbances are likely to cause active levels on 25 Jul due a slow moving CME.

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.
