🌞 Daily Solar Activity Update – April 28, 2026 🌞 ☀️ SOLAR ACTIVITY LOW AND STEADY The old active regions have fully rotated off the western limb, leaving the disk dominated by a handful of newly emerged sunspot groups on the eastern side. These newcomers are magnetically simple so far, producing only a few weak C-class flares. The 10.7 cm radio flux sits at 112 sfu with flare probabilities staying modest (35% R1, <10% R2). 🌍 GEOMAGNETIC FIELD QUIET Solar wind is running slow at ~340 km/s and the IMF remains mostly northward. Kp is holding steady in the 1–2 range, so geomagnetic conditions are globally calm with no aurora potential and strong HF radio propagation. 🚨 Short-Term Outlook Quiet (G0) conditions should continue through April 29–30 with no Earth-directed CMEs expected. The new eastern-limb regions will be the ones to watch as they rotate toward the center disk early next week — any rapid growth there could change the picture quickly. 📸 Latest full-disk solar images + real-time graphs: 👉 https://spaceweather.com/ Solar Max is in one of its calm, watchful moods — the perfect breather before the next round of activity kicks in.
