Next 24 h

Geomagnetic conditions are expected to remain at Kp 1-2 through the next 24 hours. No significant solar flares or energetic particle events are anticipated, ensuring stable conditions for global infrastructure.

🌌 Aurora

Aurora visibility is restricted to high polar latitudes.

There is no expected activity for mid-latitude observers at this time.

👁 Watch for

Monitor active region AR4535 for any sudden magnetic complexity, as the 65% probability of C-class flaring suggests continued potential for low-level eruptive activity.
