A system and method forecast geomagnetic events and resulting currents from ground and space weather data, including solar wind velocity data and interplanetary magnetic field data. The system has a processor including a first prediction generator for predicting a midnight equatorial boundary (MEB) value; a second prediction generator for predicting a polar cap potential (PCP) value from the ground and space weather data; an AL and AU prediction generator for predicting AL and AU values; a pseudo Kp value generator for generating a pseudo Kp related value; an electric field pattern generator for determining electric field patterns from the pseudo Kp value, the PCP value, and the ground and space weather data; a conductivity generator for determining conductivity values from the ground and space weather data and the pseudo Kp value; and an adaptive feedback generator for adaptively generating the geomagnetic parameters from the conductivity values, the electric field values, and the predicted AL and AU values. The geomagnetic forecasting system and method forecast geomagnetic parameters and events such as the occurrence of magnetic storms and substorms and their effects on ionospheric currents using ground and space-based measurements.
