QUIET

Current solar conditions are quiet, with planetary geomagnetic levels remaining well below storm thresholds. Solar activity is characterized by a moderate F10.7 flux and minimal flaring across the disk.

Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain quiet, with the Kp-index projected to trend downward toward 0.67 by midday. Solar flare activity will likely persist at low levels, with a 75% probability of isolated C-class events.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora visibility is not expected at mid-latitudes.

more

The current low geomagnetic activity limits auroral displays to high-latitude regions, and even those will be faint given the lack of substantial solar wind drivers.

👁 Watch for

Monitor the magnetic evolution of Active Region 4566, currently near the eastern limb, for any signs of complexity increase that could heighten the 40% probability of M-class flares.
