Geomagnetic conditions are currently unsettled with a Kp-index of 4.0, though levels are expected to trend toward quiet in the coming hours. Solar flare activity remains moderate with a significant probability of C-class events from the current population of active regions.
⚠ Kp 4 expected · 4 more below
Geomagnetic activity is forecast to diminish from Kp 4.0 to Kp 2.0 within the next 6 to 9 hours. Conditions will likely return to quiet levels by midday UTC, with no immediate expectation of geomagnetic storming.
At a Kp of 4.0, auroras are unlikely to be visible at mid-latitudes, though high-latitude observers in polar regions may still catch minor activity.

As the Kp-index drops below 3.0, auroral displays will likely retreat further toward the poles.
Monitor AR4498 and AR4500 for any sudden increases in magnetic complexity, as these regions represent the highest probability for M-class flare activity in the next 24 hours.
