Next 24 h
Expect the Kp-index to fluctuate between 3.0 and 3.7 over the next 24 hours. The risk of radio blackouts remains minimal, and solar radiation levels remain well within background ranges for satellite operators.
🌌 Aurora
Aurora visibility is not expected at mid-latitudes (40-60°N).
more
Skywatchers at very high latitudes may see faint, quiet auroral displays, but conditions are currently insufficient for widespread displays.
👁 Watch for
Monitor the magnetic evolution of AR4529 as it slowly rotates toward the western limb for any signs of flux emergence.
