1. Solar activity
Solar activity was decreasing stable during the past 24 hours.
Solar Flux (10.7 cm) measured on 14.03.2022 at 20:00 UTC was 115 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class B7.5 level.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to moderate storm (G2) levels on Mar. 14.
AR2965 (N23E03) produced a M2.0 class solar flare on Mar. 14 at 08:40 (peak time) and a short radio blackout (R1) was observed. 
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery.
The Kp index now is at unsettled levels with Kp=2.

2. Solar Wind Geomagnetic Activity
Solar Wind speed from ACE: 434 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO A: 400 km/s.
Solar Wind speed from STEREO B: - km/s.
The southward component Bz is: 3 nT north

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 unsettled to active levels (with a chance for minor storm (G1)) on Mar.15 and at quiet to unsettled levels on Mar. 16-17.
