*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2020 May 25 06:01UTC 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 24.05.2020 at 20:00 UTC was 69 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class < A1 level. The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels on May 24. 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: 335 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 440 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 1 nT north. 3. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons are quiet. 4. Coronal Holes No obvious coronal holes are currently in the visible solar disk. 5. Geophysical Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly quiet levels on May 25-27.
