    Geomagnetic conditions are expected to shift briefly to an unsettled state with a Kp-index peaking at approximately 3.67 before stabilizing near 3.0.

    more

    No significant solar radiation storms or strong radio blackouts are anticipated during this period.

    🌌 Aurora

    Aurora visibility is not expected at mid-latitudes.

    more

    Displays will be largely restricted to high-latitude regions, and even there, activity will be limited due to the quiet geomagnetic environment.

    👁 Watch for

    Monitor the evolution of Active Region 4528 as it tracks across the solar disk; while currently stable, its magnetic complexity warrants routine observation for potential flare development.
