The fast solar wind analysis during the Whole Heliospheric Interval (Carrington Rotation no. 2068: March 20 - April 16, 2008) is herein presented. The analysis is based on the data recorded by space experiments aboard the ACE and SOHO missions. The high-speed streams in the solar wind were determined by their main parameters: duration, maximum velocity, velocity gradient. The fast solar wind was also analyzed during the preceding and following Carrington Rotations, nos. 2067 and 2069, respectively. The main properties of the rapid streams and their solar sources were analysed in terms of the present solar minimum phase. The geospace response to the fast streams was evaluated using the geomagnetic index dynamics. A comparative analysis of the high-speed streams registered during Whole Heliospheric Interval with the ones determined during Whole Sun Month was also made.
