on the 31st of December this was mentioned on the Facebook page

"coronal hole facing Earth at the moment.

A southern extension of a large northern hemisphere polar coronal hole is facing Earth and an enhanced solar wind stream from this coronal hole could arrive at Earth in about 2 days from now."

Part of a post that got me interested. Any more news about it?

On the site of Solen.info you can find information about coronal holes. You can see there that CH707 was in earth facing position from  2015.12.29-2015.12.31 and that it was to be geoeffective on  2016.01.02-2016.01.03 . A new coronal hole CH708 is already visible and may be geoeffective between 6 and 7 januari.

A good way to know how effective the coronal holes might be is to look at the 27-day and 45-day forecast of NOAA. Keep in mind that forecasting is difficult and that longer term forecast may be inaccurate and change any time.
