Next 24 h

Geomagnetic stability is expected to continue throughout the next 24 hours. The planetary K-index is forecast to remain at very low levels (Kp ≤ 1) as no significant coronal mass ejections or solar wind enhancements are anticipated.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora visibility is restricted to high-latitude polar regions.

Mid-latitude observers should not expect any auroral activity during this period of solar quiescence.

👁 Watch for

Monitor the development or emergence of new sunspot regions as they rotate into the visible disk, which may shift the current low-activity profile.
