    Geomagnetic conditions will remain at quiet levels, with the Kp-index forecasted to stay near 1.3 throughout the next 24 hours.

    more

    Solar flare activity will likely be confined to minor C-class events, posing no significant impact to Earth’s infrastructure.

    🌌 Aurora

    Aurora visibility is restricted to high-latitude polar regions.

    more

    Observers at mid-latitudes (40-60°N) should not expect any auroral activity during this period.

    👁 Watch for

    Monitor the development of AR4535 as it nears the western limb; while current flare probability is low, any sudden magnetic complexity could briefly elevate radio noise levels.
