*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2019 November 04 02:35UTC Prepared by the Athens Space Weather Forecasting Center *********************************************************************** 1. Solar activity Solar activity was almost stable during the past 24 hours. Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 03.11.2019 at 20:00 UTC was 69 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class A6 level. The geomagnetic field was at very quiet levels on November 3. No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery. The Kp index now is at almost quiet levels with Kp=2. 2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity Solar Wind speed from ACE: 345 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 335 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 4 nT north. 3. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons are quiet. 4. Coronal Holes A coronal hole on the southern hemisphere of the visible solar disk was in Earth facing position on Oct. 27-28. 5. Geophysical Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on November 4-5 due to CH weak effects and at quiet levels on November 6.
