GEO: QUIET
5
A/B (quiet)
The solar environment is currently quiet with no significant geomagnetic disturbances reported. Activity levels are moderate, characterized by low-level flare production and stable solar flux.
The planetary K-index is holding steady at 1.3, reflecting a calm magnetosphere. Solar flux (F10.7) is measured at 114.0 sfu, sitting well within the moderate range for the current cycle. While eight active regions are present on the disk, overall X-ray output remains at background A/B levels, indicating a lack of high-energy eruptive activity.
The current F10.7 flux of 114.0 sfu is the most important metric, as it indicates a sustained, moderate level of activity that supports high-frequency radio propagation without the risk of storm-related disruptions.
Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain quiet with the Kp-index hovering between 0.6 and 1.7 over the next 24 hours. No significant space weather impacts are anticipated for power grids, satellites, or radio communications.
Aurora visibility for mid-latitudes (40-60°N) is effectively zero under these current quiet conditions. Observers should not expect any auroral activity outside of the immediate polar regions.
