    This slight increase will likely remain below storm thresholds, resulting in no significant space weather impacts.

    🌌 Aurora

    Aurora visibility remains limited to the highest latitudes.

    more

    Observers at mid-latitudes (40-60°N) should not expect any auroral activity under current conditions.

    👁 Watch for

    Monitor the evolution of AR4528 and AR4529 as they rotate further onto the disk, as their development could increase the probability of M-class flare activity.
