GEO: QUIET
4
A/B (quiet)
Geomagnetic activity is currently subsiding following a period of minor unrest. The solar environment remains stable with no active storm conditions present.
The planetary K-index has dropped to 2.0, reflecting a calm magnetosphere. While the F10.7 flux remains at a elevated level of 153 sfu, signaling a healthy active sun, X-ray flux remains in the background A/B range. AR4485 remains the most notable feature, though its potential for significant eruptive activity has diminished as it rotates toward the western limb.
The current Kp-index of 2.0 indicates a stable geomagnetic field, meaning no near-term disruptions to power grids or satellite navigation systems.
Conditions are expected to remain quiet over the next 24 hours. The K-index is forecast to trend downward, settling below 2.0 by the latter half of the period.
Aurora visibility is not expected at mid-latitudes. Observers should anticipate no significant auroral activity during this quiet interval.
| Region | Location | Class | Flares C/M/X |
|---|---|---|---|
| AR4488 | N23W25 | Bxo/B | 0/0/0 |
| AR4482 | S08W29 | Cho/B | 0/0/0 |
| AR4485 | S10W82 | Eac/BG | 5/1/0 |
| AR4487 | N09W28 | Bxo/B | 0/0/0 |
Monitor AR4485 as it approaches the western limb; any late-stage eruptive activity there is unlikely to have a significant geoeffective impact on Earth.
