1. Solar activity
Solar activity was increasing during the past 24 hours.
Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 19.03.2020 at 20:00 UTC was 72 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class A1 level.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels on March 19. 
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery. 
The Kp index now is at quiet levels with Kp=1.

Solar Wind speed from ACE: 450 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: --- 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 quiet to unsettled levels on March 20-21 and at quiet levels on March 22.
