    Next 24 h

    Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain at Kp 1 through the next 24 hours. No significant space weather impacts are anticipated for satellite operations or radio propagation.

    🌌 Aurora

    Aurora activity is currently restricted to high-latitude polar regions.

    more

    There is no expectation of mid-latitude aurora visibility for the next 24 hours.

    👁 Watch for

    Monitor AR4494 and AR4496 as they rotate across the disk; while currently stable, their magnetic complexity remains the primary factor to watch for potential M-class flare development.
