Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2018 Jun 30 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. The visible disk was spotless and no reportable events were observed this period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is expected to persist at very low levels throughout the forecast period (30 Jun-02 Jul).
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached high levels this period with a peak flux of 4,596 pfu observed at 29/2035 UTC. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels throughout the period.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to reach high levels each of the next three days (30 Jun-02 Jul) and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to persist at background levels throughout the forecast period.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind speed was in decline over the period from approximately 495 km/s to near 425 km/s. Total field was steady between 3-5 nT while the Bz component was between +/-3 nT. Phi angle was steady in a negative (towards) solar sector.
Forecast: The near-Earth solar wind environment is expected to remain slightly enhanced over the next three days (30 Jun-02 Jul) due to the influences of multiple CH HSSs.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet.
Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled over the next three days (30 Jun-02 Jul) under the weak influences of multiple CH HSSs.
