Solar activity is very low with background X-ray at B-class levels. No significant flares were observed during the past 24 hours. There are three sunspot regions on the visible solar disk showing simple magnetic configurations. The solar wind speed is at background levels with speed ranging between 300-390 km/s. There are few filaments and prominences on the visible solar disk that showed slight movement and will be monitored for any potential lift-offs. There are no confirmed Earth-directed CMEs observed on the available coronagraph imagery during the past 24-hours. Global geomagnetic conditions are at quiet to active levels (Kp 2-4), with isolated G1/Minor storm and G2/Moderate storm interval (Kp 5-6) due to the arrival of the CME that left the Sun on 4 August. Local HF working frequencies are near monthly predicted values
