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.

Stealthy Storms Sneak of the Sun & A Fast Wind Valentine | Space Weather Spotlight 13 February 2025

Our Sun plays Cupid this week by ensuring we have some solar storming through this upcoming Valentines Day weekend. Even as we calm down from some fast solar wind, another pocket of fast wind is on its way to Earth. Sandwiched within the fast wind will be several stealthy solar storms and a narrow filament, which should serve to enhance aurora views, especially at high latitudes. Aurora photographers down at mid-latitudes should also get a chance for some shows, as long as the aurora outshines the bright moon. Amateur radio operators should enjoy some relative quiet on the dayside bands just in time for the big DX contest this weekend, although the nightside might be more difficult to work during the storming. Overall radio blackout risk is down and should remain so over the next few days. GPS users should also enjoy decent reception on the dayside, but nightside reception could be a bit dicey, especially near dawn and dusk and near aurora. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, watch some stealthy storms sneak of the Sun, and find out what else is in store.
