The Sun Puts on a Happy Face for Halloween | Solar Storm Forecast 10.28.2022



This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University:
https://www.millersville.edu/swen
This week our Sun puts on a happy face as a set of coronal holes give us a whimsical image of a Jack-o-Lantern, just in time for Halloween. These coronal holes will be sending us some fast solar wind and could give us some decent aurora over the holiday weekend. Aurora photographers could see aurora dip down into mid-latitudes multiple times over the next several days. Outside this impending storm, amateur radio operators and GPS users should enjoy reasonably quiet conditions on Earth’s dayside with low risk for radio blackouts early this week. But things may begin to change around mid-week due to some activity on the Sun’s farside that will be rotating into view of Earth over the next few days. Noise on the radio bands will likely increase as we move into early November on Earth’s dayside. On Earth’s nightside, GPS users should remain vigilant anywhere near aurora and near dawn and dusk once the solar storm hits. Learn the details of the coming fast solar wind, when and where to see aurora, and find out what else our Sun has in store!

Why do you keep putting this propaganda out there. If you look at the whole thing it looks like Hitler. Halloween and Hitler, perfect.

Can u help us understand β€œsolar flux” and the numbers on that ??
Thank u !!!

I knew something was up. I reached Hungary from my QTH in Georgia today with only 5 watts SSB using my magloop sitting in the middle of my living room. Thank you so much for these observations and predictions. You really make my dayπŸ’―πŸ‘πŸΏπŸ™πŸΏπŸ˜ŽπŸ™†πŸ₯‚πŸ™πŸΏπŸ––

Never seen a happy face sun before. DKIST images will be spectacular! Mahalo Tamitha! WH6DSF.

MJ Parks October 28, 2022 at 9:04 pm

Wasn't it a few years ago the sun gave us a spooky face near Halloween? I want to say it was 2018ish

Thanks for the wonderful content. Was wondering if the k index and noise can be predicted and made part of your metrics presented. As an avid ham radio op, those two metrics seem to be key in the availability of DX signals. I love this subject and am eager to learn. Thanks !

I hope this thing kicks back up for Halloween so I can wear my favorite hat. The quiet time has been nice though.

At 7.00 a huge tornado is blown off the Sun (top left) into space 7.30.

I like the idea of the Sun having a Halloween Face! Thanks for your broadcast, it helps me with understanding propagation on the amateur radio bands.

Happy halloween!

It's I portant the photo or film is shown from the data collecting. Interesting it has a varied chance to not show as it could.

Good to see such a calm, sense of humor (humanity) in such a report. Always look for positives.

Abdo November 2, 2022 at 4:57 pm

Did that storm hit us or miss us or are we still waiting to see?

Carl Jones November 5, 2022 at 4:15 am

The Sun puts on a happy face… oh the irony. The Sun is laffing at us, and it's going to burn our butt's when it micronovas. 😎
