*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2025 August 05 07:05UTC Prepared by the Athens Space Weather Forecasting Center ***********************************************************************
I. Solar activity --Current Status Solar Flux (10.7cm) measured on 04.08.2025 at 23:00 UTC was 142 sfu.br>The background X-Ray flux is at the class C1.4 level. One M1.7-class solar flare erupted on August 04 at 05:00 UT producing a radio blackout of category R1. No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery on August 02-04. A coronal hole (CH1310) will likely rotate across the central meridian on August 05-09.
II. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons fluxes are quiet.
III. Interplanetary and Geomagnetic conditions The solar wind speed measured by ACE satellite reached the max value 552 Km/s on August 04 at 07:35 UT during the last 24 hours. The solar wind speed from STEREO A was detected 400 Km/s during the last 24 hours. The vertical component of IMF Bz reached the max value -6 nT on August 05 at 02:05 UT during the last 24 hours. The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels during the last 24 hours. The Kp index now is at unsettled levels with Kp=3.
IV. 3-day Geomagnetic Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on August 05-08.
