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 Mini-Storm & More Flares Possible | Space Weather MidWeek 10 February 2026

The fun just keeps coming this week! Even though Region 4366 will be rotating to the farside over the next few days, there is still plenty of activity. Region 4371 has launched a mini-solar storm at Earth, which could hit us late on Thursday or possibly early Friday. Although it is a small storm, aurora photographers at high latitudes could still get a bit of a show. On top of this, several returning regions, including old Region 4341 are returning to the east limb, which means big solar flares are likely to continue. The last time Region 4341 was in Earth-view was both flare active and a solar storm producer, and from the looks of it, that has not changed. Amateur radio operators should expect the dayside radio bands to continue to be a bit noisy this week. Things may quiet down a little bit over the next few days, but the returning regions will likely prevent the noise floor from dropping below the “moderate” range this week. We will likely see more M-class flare activity, so the risk for radio blackouts at the R1-R2-level will remain elevated, but the risk for X-class flares (R3-level) should drop to the single digits by the weekend, as long as the returning regions behave as expected. Learn about the returning regions, say goodbye to Region 4366, and see what else our Sun has in store.

How Does Space Weather Affect Us?

Here are some things to ponder:
