Expect geomagnetic conditions to remain quiet, with a slight, temporary increase to Kp=3 anticipated by mid-day as a result of minor solar wind fluctuations.

more

Solar flare probability remains moderate for C-class events, with a lower 15% chance for more significant X-class activity.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora visibility is not expected at mid-latitudes during this period.

more

Observers in high-latitude regions may see minor, baseline auroral activity, but no significant displays are forecast.

👁 Watch for

Monitor AR4498, which shows complex magnetic classification and remains the most likely source for potential flare activity in the coming 24 hours.
