Conditions are expected to trend toward quiet levels as the geomagnetic impact dissipates. We anticipate the Kp-index to settle between 3.0 and 4.0 throughout the remainder of the 24-hour window.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora visibility for mid-latitudes is currently low.

While high-latitude observers may catch intermittent displays due to the unsettled conditions, observers below 60 degrees latitude are unlikely to see significant activity.

👁 Watch for

Monitor the Kp-index over the next 6 hours to confirm if the system is stabilizing below the storm threshold or if further oscillations occur.
