Earth is currently experiencing G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm conditions following a rapid rise in Kp-index. Activity is expected to remain unsettled to active over the next 24 hours as the magnetosphere recovers.
⚠ Kp 5 (G1) reached · 4 more below
Expect geomagnetic conditions to persist at G1 levels through the next 24 hours, with periods of Kp 4-5 activity. Solar flare risk remains moderate for C-class events, with a lower 50% probability for M-class flares.
Auroral displays are possible at higher mid-latitudes, particularly across northern Canada and Scandinavia.

Observers in the northern United States should monitor local skies during dark hours, though visibility may be faint and intermittent.
Monitor the F10.7 flux and X-ray emission for sudden increases that could indicate a transition from geomagnetic-dominated activity to localized eruptive solar events.
