Space Weather and Aurora Forecasting
-
Can an Earth magnetic field layer be added? Solar EMF effects on the weakening magnetic fields are already occurring with more auroras at new latitudes. This affects radio transmissions etc. Also a magnetic field layer would allow pole shift/field monitoring which would be nice as the poles movement is accelerating and according to some will flip in 2040. It would be nice to see the evidence. If it does happen it will be the major extinction event for many species and end of our civilisation due to EMF effects and radiation from space getting through the field or maybe just one large solar flare. A lot of the granite on the ancient buildings in Egypt had melt/scorch marks indicating that such a catastrophic solar event occurred. Like this: https://i.imgur.com/TxErMjC.jpg

I agree that a "drone safe flight layer" would be great.
Electromagnetic disturbances risk forecast and realtime measure / KP¨index, cloud base (visibility), rain (radar), restricted flight zones (many countries implemented that in SIG solutions) with max flight altitude are some of the things drone pilots need.
Quite the datas from UAV Forecast, but the windy (better) way !Set a location and time period for the flight and get all these informations at once !
-
I as well agree.
-
I know they are hard to predict but there is some great real time data out there that could make a great map overlay. What’s your thoughts 💭
-
You should add an aurora forecast overlay to the map :)
-
@Zachary-Wirth Seconded! This would be incredible.

I think Windy needs Aurora forcast map. Even it wouldn't reach the most of people on Earth it would be very interesting little add for those who lives near places to see those incredible lights.
-
I see a direct competitor using NOAA data for displaying auroras.

@TommiR, I completely agree with your observation. Living in the UK, I have also noticed the increasing frequency of Aurora Borealis sightings. It would be incredibly beneficial if Windy could incorporate an overlay feature to visualize and comprehend the timing, location, and intensity of this phenomenon.
-
@TommiR hopefully the more the community asks, the more likely Windy devs will deliver.

Could you possibly do a northern hemisphere in Aurora Borealis is it already in the app I could you possibly add space weather telling us whether or not we're going to get X flares or geomagnetic storms or magnetic fields radiation enhancement tells us whether or not we're going to get a radiation storm
-
Why only Northern Hemisphere? There is another one...

hello
there is some very good apps for northenlight (aurora compas for example)
but having a new map on windy with northenlights mix with cloudiness will be great !!many thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day,
I am a premium user of your app, and i am extremely happy to say how good this program/app is very useful for us to see weather forcast through so much layers and satellite.
I am making request if possible can you add Northern light/Borealis or Aurora map as well. This will helps us to look weather and as well as some entertainment in same app.
I hope you will do needful.
Thank you

Would also love this feature!

Hi there, apologies if you have been asked this before, but is there any chance you could include a weather view that gives an indication of the intensity of the Northern Lights for a given region?
Regards, Lee

Hi, thanks so much for your interest! We don’t currently offer forecasts of values related to aurora visibility (such as the Kp index) in the app. However, since we’re excited about the idea ourselves, we’ll be happy to add an aurora forecast feature as soon as possible. Thanks for the suggestion!
Have a great day,

Hi, thanks so much for your interest! As you know, we don’t currently offer forecasts of values related to aurora visibility (such as the Kp index) in the app. However, since we’re excited about the idea ourselves, we’d be happy to add an aurora forecast feature in the future, though it might take some time. Thanks for the great suggestion!
