Current geomagnetic conditions are unsettled with Kp levels near 4.3 following recent G2 storm activity. Solar activity remains moderate with elevated flare probabilities from several active regions on the solar disk.
⚠ Kp 5 (G1) expected · 4 more below
Expect fluctuating geomagnetic conditions over the next 24 hours. A return to G1 (minor) storm levels is anticipated around 12:00 UTC, followed by a general cooling of geomagnetic indices into the afternoon.
Aurora visibility is currently restricted to high latitudes.

Observers in northern Canada and Scandinavia may experience faint displays, but activity is unlikely to reach lower mid-latitudes at current Kp levels.
Monitor the development of AR4498, which possesses the magnetic complexity necessary to produce M-class solar flares in the coming 12-24 hours.
