*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2018 July 02 05:10UTC Prepared by the Athens Space Weather Forecasting Center *********************************************************************** 1. Solar activity Solar activity was decreasing stable during the past 24 hours. Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 01.07.2018 at 20:00 UTC was 68 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class A2 level. The geomagnetic field was at very quiet levels on July 1st. No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery. The Kp index now is at quiet levels with Kp=1. 2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity Solar Wind speed from ACE: 355 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 270 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 0 nT. 3. Solar Energetic Particle Events Protons and electrons are quiet. 4. Coronal Holes A new coronal hole (CH872) in the southern hemisphere of the visible solar disk was in Earth facing position on June 28-29. 5. Geophysical Activity Forecast The geomagnetic field is expected to be at very quiet levels on July 2-4.
