Geomagnetic activity is expected to remain low over the next 24 hours, with the Kp-index hovering between 1 and 2. No significant geomagnetic storms are anticipated as current solar wind parameters remain stable.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora visibility is restricted to high-latitude regions, such as the auroral oval.
