Geomagnetic activity is trending upward with current Kp levels of 4.3. A minor G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm is anticipated over the next 24 hours as conditions remain unsettled.
⚠ Kp 5 (G1) expected · 4 more below
Expect Kp values to persist near 4.67 throughout the next 24 hours, consistent with G1-level activity.
more
Minor fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field may continue to drive these elevated conditions, though significant solar radiation or radio blackouts remain unlikely.
Auroral activity is expected to be confined to high latitudes.

Observers in northern Canada, Scandinavia, and high-latitude regions may see increased, albeit moderate, auroral displays; mid-latitude viewing is unlikely at this time.
Monitor the Kp index for a transition into sustained Kp 5 (G1) conditions, which would signify the onset of a minor geomagnetic storm.
