GEO: QUIET
3
A/B (quiet)
The sun is currently in a quiet state with no significant geomagnetic storms or radio blackouts. Activity remains characterized by background-level solar cycles with moderate radio flux.
The planetary K-index is stable at 2.0, indicating a quiet geomagnetic environment. Solar radio flux (F10.7) sits at 147.0 sfu, reflecting sustained moderate activity from the 28 identified active regions on the solar disk. X-ray flux remains at low levels, with only a single minor C-class flare reported in the last 24 hours.
The F10.7 index of 147.0 sfu indicates a healthy, moderate level of solar activity that maintains consistent ionospheric conditions for radio communications.
Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain unsettled to quiet over the next 24 hours, with the K-index briefly peaking toward 4.0 before subsiding. No significant space weather impacts are anticipated for satellite operations or power grids during this period.
Aurora activity is expected to remain confined to high latitudes. Observers at mid-latitudes (40-60°N) are unlikely to see significant displays given the current and forecasted K-index levels.
| Region | Location | Class | Flares C/M/X |
|---|---|---|---|
| AR4489 | S07E65 | Hsx/A | 1/0/0 |
| AR4482 | S09W43 | Cko/B | 0/0/0 |
| AR4487 | N09W42 | Bxo/B | 0/0/0 |
Monitor AR4489 as it rotates toward the limb; despite current low activity, its configuration warrants observation for sudden increases in flare potential.
