*********************************************************************** Product: Daily Forecast of Geomagnetic Activity Issued: 2019 January 13 05:29UTC 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 12.01.2019 at 20:00 UTC was 70 sfu. The background X-Ray flux is at the class A2 level. The geomagnetic field was at very quiet levels on January 12. No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery. The Kp index now is at very quiet levels with Kp=0. 2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity Solar Wind speed from ACE: 350 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 460 km/s. Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s. The southward component Bz is: 1 nT south. 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 very quiet levels on January 13-15.
