*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2019 August 01 03:23UTC Prepared by the Athens Space Weather Forecasting Center *********************************************************************** 1. Solar activity Solar activity was decreasing during the past 24 hours. Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 31.07.2019 at 20:00 UTC was 68 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class < A1 level. The geomagnetic field was at very quiet levels on July 31. 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: 360 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 400 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 2 nT south. 3. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons are quiet. 4. Coronal Holes A new equatorial coronal hole (CH931) was in Earth facing position on July 28-29. A new equatorial coronal hole (CH932) will be in Earth facing position on August 1-2. 5. Geophysical Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on August 1 due to CH effects and at quiet levels on August 2-3.
