Here is the current forecast discussion on space weather and geophysical activity, issued 2021 Jul 19 1230 UTC.
Solar Activity
24 hr Summary: Solar activity was very low. B-class enhancements were observed from the E limb. Region 2842 (N27W35, Dso/beta) exhibited minor changes while Region 2845 (S15W27, Cro) was in decay. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.
Forecast: Solar activity is likely to remain very low with a slight chance for C-class flares on 19-21 Jul.
Energetic Particle
24 hr Summary: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained at background values.
Forecast: The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to continue at normal to moderate levels 19-21 Jul. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to remain at background.
Solar Wind
24 hr Summary: Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, reflected mostly nominal conditions. Total magnetic field strength was between 3-7 nT and no significant periods of southward Bz were observed. Solar wind speeds were between ~370-410 km/s. Phi angle transitioned from the negative sector to positive after 19/0600 UTC.
Forecast: Solar wind parameters are expected to remain at nominal levels through 20 Jul. A slight enhancement is possible on 21 Jul due to a potential connection with a positive polarity CH HSS.
Geospace
24 hr Summary: The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled.
Forecast: Quiet conditions are expected through 20 Jul. Quiet to unsettled levels are likely on 21 Jul due to weak CH HSS influences.

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.
