Overall Space Weather: Minor Activity
Coronal hole high-speed stream arriving at Earth. Kp 3-4 expected with isolated Kp 4 intervals. AR 3945 has produced multiple C-class flares with beta-gamma magnetic configuration. Low probability of M-class activity.

Viewing tip: Best aurora viewing requires dark skies (no moonlight), clear weather, and locations away from city lights. The oval typically expands equatorward during geomagnetic storms (Kp 5+).
