Next 24 h
Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain quiet, with Kp indices hovering between 1 and 3 over the next 24 hours. While a 55% probability of C-class flares exists, major radio or satellite impacts are not anticipated.
🌌 Aurora
Aurora activity is currently restricted to high-latitude polar regions.

Observers at mid-latitudes (40-60°N) should not expect any visible activity under current conditions.
👁 Watch for
Monitor AR4549 as it transits the solar disk, as it is the primary source of the recent C-class flare activity.
