GEO: QUIET
7
A/B (quiet)
Current solar conditions remain geophysically quiet with no significant storm activity. A moderate F10.7 flux of 145 sfu indicates sustained background solar activity, but planetary geomagnetic levels remain low.
The Earth’s geomagnetic field is currently settled, with a Kp-index of 1.3 reflecting a calm space environment. X-ray flux remains at low levels, with only minor C-class flare activity observed in the past 12 hours. While seven active regions are present on the solar disk, their magnetic complexity is currently limited.
The 40% probability of M-class flares is the primary metric to watch, as it suggests the potential for localized radio interference on the sunlit side of Earth.
Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain unsettled but below storm thresholds, with Kp indices reaching a maximum of 3.0 during minor solar wind fluctuations. No major eruptive events are currently anticipated, though the 40% probability of M-class flares warrants ongoing monitoring.
Aurora activity will be largely confined to high-latitude regions near the poles. Observers at mid-latitudes (40-60°N) should not expect significant auroral displays under current quiet conditions.

Monitor AR4465, currently the most active region on the disk, for any sudden changes in magnetic complexity that could increase the likelihood of moderate solar flares.
