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.

A Stormy Side Swipe, Heart-Shaped Hole & Brighter Days Ahead | Solar Storm Forecast 01 October 2026

We have a solar storm that could side-swipe Earth over the next couple of days. Because the eruption was large and on the hairy edge of the Earth-strike zone, forecasting the strength of its impact at Earth is challenging. In this week’s Solar Storm Forecast I go over these in detail. In addition to the solar storm, we have more fast solar wind coming later this week due to the heart-shaped coronal hole that will be rotating into the Earth-strike zone starting October 3. Aurora photographers, especially at high latitudes could get some decent shows this week. We also have a cluster of active regions rotating back into Earth view. This means we could see solar flux rise back above 100, which should help radio propagation on the dayside. Radio operators should expect the noise to also rise on the dayside bands just a little, but overall the risk for radio blackouts should remain minor through the rest of this week.
