*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2019 May 30 05:38UTC Prepared by the Athens Space Weather Forecasting Center *********************************************************************** 1. Solar activity Solar activity was increasing during the past 24 hours. Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 29.05.2019 at 20:00 UTC was 68 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class A7 level. The geomagnetic field was at almost quiet to active levels on May 29. No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery. The Kp index now is at unsettled levels with Kp=3. 2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity Solar Wind speed from ACE: 545 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 430 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 3 nT north. 3. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons are quiet. 4. Coronal Holes A new coronal hole (CH919) on the southern hemisphere of the visible solar disk was in Earth facing position on May 24-25. A new small coronal hole (CH920) on the northern hemisphere of the visible solar disk was in Earth facing position on May 26-27. A high speed stream of solar wind noticed on the second half of May 28, possible associated with CH919. 5. Geophysical Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels, with a chance for active intervals, on May 30 - June 1 due to CH919 and CH920 effects.
