As Seen On:

” If you are fascinated by aurora and hope to see it someday (on or above our planet), you need to follow Tamitha Skov. “

Mike Fossum, NASA Astronaut

“We hold quarterly HF Communications Exercises with the Amateur Radio Community. Although the solar wind is great for aurora it’s a nightmare for us. Keep up the great work.”

Bob Jordan AAA2R9 / KD2BQM / WQSG766, Civil Affairs Officer, US Army MARS Region 2

“Your work is helpful, important, and inspiring– not only to me but also to my 12-year-old step daughter who now has an interest in space weather!”

Kiki Valentine, Independent Consultant
Great, consistent content. I appreciate especially how the presenter IDs groups for whom data points might be relevant: aurora photogs, air travelers, radio operators. The job is definitely futuristic. It’s just that the future, finally, is now.

Dr. Tamitha Skov

Dr. Tamitha Skov is a new kind of weather forecaster for our modern world. As we become more reliant on technology like our cell phones, GPS (GNSS), and other satellite services we find we are more susceptible to the effects of Space Weather. Just like terrestrial weather on Earth, Space Weather can be as mild as a rainstorm or as wild as a hurricane.

Let Tamitha show you in non-science jargon how this new kind of weather impacts your daily life. You will never look at the Sun or the Earth in the same way again. After all, Space Weather is just like the weather in your own backyard, it’s just a little further up.

An Earth-Directed Storm Hits with a Fast Wind Chaser & Radio Noise | Space Weather News 03 July 2025

Our Sun continues creating some gorgeous art this week, launching simultaneous filament eruptions off the Sun’s west limb. Although those are not Earth-directed, we are being hit by a mini solar storm now with minor effects thus far. We also will get some fast wind as a chaser over the next few days, but again, the impacts might be a bit underwhelming. We will be lucky to reach G1 storm levels, if at all. Aurora photographers at higher latitudes might get a bit of a show (especially in the southern hemisphere), but aurora photographers at mid-latitudes need to be savvy in how to catch substorm brightenings if they plan to chase. In addition, amateur radio operators will hear noise increasing on the dayside radio bands, but luckily, the risk for radio blackouts will continue to remain low. This is due to several regions on the Sun’s farside that are rotating into Earth-view., but thus far their activity levels remain low. Learn the details of the storm hitting now and the fast solar wind to come, watch the gorgeous dual filament eruptions over the Sun’s west limb and find out what else our Sun has in store.

How Does Space Weather Affect Us?

Here are some things to ponder:
