1. Solar activity
Solar activity was almost stable during the past 24 hours.
Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 06.05.2020 at 20:00 UTC was 70 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class < A1 level.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels on May 6.
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: 325 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 450 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: --- km/s.
The southward component Bz is: 4 nT south.

3. Solar Energetic Particle Events
Protons and electrons are quiet.

4. Coronal Holes
An extension (CH962) of the southern polar coronal hole will be in Earth facing position on May 5-6.

5. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on May 7 and at almost quiet levels on May 8-9.
