Next 24 h
Conditions are expected to remain quiet for the next 24 hours. The K-index will likely fluctuate between 2.0 and 3.0 before returning to baseline, posing no impacts to power grids or satellite operations.
🌌 Aurora
Aurora visibility is restricted to high-latitude regions.
more
There is no probability of aurora sightings for mid-latitudes (40-60°N) as geomagnetic energy levels remain too low to trigger significant displays.
👁 Watch for
Monitor the development of AR4564 as it rotates further into view; any increase in magnetic complexity could shift the current low flare probabilities.
