does it count if i put a teabag inside the kettle and a http response on a post-it note?

oh wow, even better!!

there's a feed for that! bsky.app/profile/skyf...

will keep you posted :D

I'm currently building something which combines data from solar flares and coronal mass ejections to generate an advanced notification (approx 24-72h prior).

Then using solar wind data, to can then issue updated ETA and a more certain notification between 30-60 mins before it impacts Earth.

Most of the notification systems are based on the geomagnetic activity, so can produce notifications even when an aurora isn't likely.

In the case of Earth-based geomagnetic activity alerts (like AuroraWatch) they might even be too late altogether.

No notification there, just me staring at Space Weather Prediction Center data for too long! (Plus some other sources to confirm)

Some websites I like which offer notifications:
AuroraWatchUK - aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk
SpaceWeatherLive - www.spaceweatherlive.com

Spent hours freezing on a hill in a state of excitement which can only be matched by a child at Christmas.

G4 Geomagnetic Storm - Kp 8

Sun setting, light fading, excitement astronomical - if you'll pardon the pun.

Earth-directed X7.1 flare last night and a couple M-class this morning, with few signs of degradation.

Models predict solar mass will reach Earth around

Hopefully some good weather and aurora this weekend!

There used to be a "search this area" button, but recently they've seemingly made searching the area on screen (specifically from the centre co-ords) the default.

I wanted to naively believe it was bad UX, but changing to sort by distance and seeing the store across the road quickly quashed that.
