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.

Earth-Directed Storms Come & Big Flare Players Enter | Solar Storm Forecast 11 September 2024

Our Sun launched multiple Earth-directed solar storms towards Earth this week, with the first one hitting us just now (it is fashionably late). The second will likely hit late on September 12 and be followed by some fast solar wind. This means aurora photographers could be in for an extended show from about now till possibly September 13. In addition, several big-flare and big solar storm producing regions are beginning to rotate into Earth view. Amateur radio operators and GPS users should expect increasingly difficult conditions for radio propagation over this coming week, especially while the ongoing mild radiation storm continues to impact high-latitude regions. Radio operators and GPS users should expect issues on Earth’s dayside over this week (and possibly next) with the worst impacts at the poles calming down by September 14. Of course, UAV pilots should stay vigilant, especially on Earth’s nightside near aurora and during dawn and dusk. Learn the details of the coming solar storms, see what is on the farside of the Sun and find out what else our Sun has in store.
