Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain quiet for the next 24 hours, with Kp levels forecasted to fluctuate between 1 and 2.

more

No significant solar disruptions are anticipated, and the probability of M-class or X-class flares remains negligible.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora activity will be restricted to high polar latitudes and is not expected to be visible at mid-latitudes (40-60°N).
