Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain quiet with the Kp-index hovering around 1.33. Flare probabilities remain low, with a 35% chance for minor C-class flares and negligible risks for larger M or X-class eruptions.
🌌 Aurora
Aurora activity will be confined to high polar latitudes.

There is no expectation of visible aurora displays for mid-latitude observers in the next 24 hours.
👁 Watch for
Monitor the development of any emerging active regions on the solar disk that could increase the current 35% probability of C-class flares.
