Poor Conditions for Emergency Responders: Solar Storm Forecast 01-06-2018
The Sun continues its slow descent into solar minimum with very low activity and shrinking coronal holes. This means a very quiet week for Space Weather. Amateur radio operators and emergency responders will have to deal with very low solar flux due to the absence of active regions on the Earth-facing Sun. Luckily, aurora photographers can look forward to another chance for a solar storm at the beginning of next week. Catch up on aurora photos, learn how long the poor radio propagation conditions are expected to last, and see what else the Sun has in store!
