Special Report from Belgium: Solar Storm Forecast 08-01-2018
The Sun launches another stealthy solar storm this week, but its so wispy and moving so slowly it might not cause much of a disturbance. Aurora photographers at high latitudes might enjoy sporadic views but mid-latitudes might miss out. Amateur radio operators and emergency responders get a nice boost in radio propagation this week as a bright region rotates into view with another coming in a few days. GPS users at low and mid-latitudes should enjoy decent reception, while those at high latitudes might get a few disruptions on the night side near aurora. Catch up on aurora pics, learn about the coming storm, and see what else the Sun has in store!

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of those who have provided all of this data for public use.
Images c/o NASA/ESA/CSA (most notably the superb SDO, SOHO, ACE, STEREO, CCMC, JPL & DSN teams, amazing professionals, hobbyists, institutions, organizations, agencies and amateurs such as those at the USAF/HAARP, NICT, NOAA, USGS, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Intellicast, Catatania, rice.edu, wisc.edu, sonoma.edu ucalgary.ca, rssi.ru, ohio-state.edu, solen.info, and more. Thanks for making Space Weather part of our every day dialogue.
