    Geomagnetic activity is expected to increase to Kp 4 (unsettled) by midday today. Solar flare probabilities remain modest, with a 60% chance for C-class events and minimal risk of more significant M or X-class eruptions.

    🌌 Aurora

    Aurora activity is expected to remain restricted to high latitudes.

    Observers at mid-latitudes are unlikely to see displays, as geomagnetic indices are currently projected to stay below the storm threshold.
