Solar activity is currently stable following recent minor disturbances. A brief period of unsettled geomagnetic conditions is anticipated late today as the planet moves through lingering solar wind structures.
⚠ Kp 4 expected · 4 more below
Geomagnetic activity is expected to rise to Kp 4 late this evening, 2026-07-24, remaining in the unsettled range. Following this brief spike, conditions are forecast to return to quieter levels by early tomorrow morning.
Aurora visibility is not expected for mid-latitudes.

Observers in high-latitude regions may see minor, transient activity during the peak Kp 4 window, but significant displays are unlikely at this time.
Watch for any sudden increases in X-ray flux from AR4494, which currently shows the most complex magnetic configuration and carries a 50% probability of producing M-class flares.
