Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain in the quiet to unsettled range over the next 24 hours, with Kp levels likely to hover between 1 and 3.

more

Flare probability remains weighted toward low-level C-class events, with no significant X-ray bursts anticipated.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora visibility is not expected for mid-latitudes during this period.

more

Observers in high-latitude regions may see standard, quiet-time auroral activity, but no enhanced displays are currently forecast.

👁 Watch for

Monitor the magnetic complexity of AR4566 as it rotates further into view; although currently quiet, its evolution will determine potential for M-class flare activity.
