I. Solar activity
--Current Status
Solar Flux (10.7cm) measured on 24.10.2025 at 23:00 UTC was 134 sfu.
The background X-Ray flux is at the class B5.3 level.
No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in available LASCO imagery on October 22-23.
A coronal hole (CH1324) at southern hemisphere will likely become Earth facing on October 26-27.
A small equatorial coronal hole (CH1325) rotated across the central meridian on October 21.
An equatorial coronal hole (CH1326) will likely rotate across the central meridian on October 27.

II. Solar Energetic Particle Events
Protons and electrons fluxes are quiet.

III. Interplanetary and Geomagnetic conditions
The solar wind speed measured by ACE satellite reached the max value 578 Km/s on October 24 at 21:05 UT during the last 24 hours.
The solar wind speed from STEREO A was detected 400 Km/s during the last 24 hours.
The vertical component of IMF Bz reached the max value -5 nT on October 25 at 04:00 UT during the last 24 hours.
The geomagnetic field was at quiet to active levels during the last 24 hours.
The Kp index now is at active levels with Kp=4.

IV. 3-day Geomagnetic Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on October 25-26 and at quiet to active levels on October 27.
