A solar wind released from the Sun is expected to impact the Earth at a speed of around 1,120,000 miles per hour. Most of the energy from the high-speed stream will be deflected by the Earth s magnetic field, perhaps resulting in a spectacular display of aurora in northern latitudes.
While radio communication, satellite, and GPS difficulties are possible, this solar explosion is not predicted to cause a severe geomagnetic storm.

Space Weather
The National Weather Service s Space Weather Prediction Center keeps an eye on this developing space weather event. While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Weather Service (NWS) are best recognized for their weather forecasts, they are also in charge of space weather. While commercial firms and other organizations monitor and forecast space weather, the Space Weather Prediction Center is the primary source for space weather alerts and warnings (SWPC).

This year’s storm names not only include Ana and Elsa, there’s also Peter and Rose, which seems fitting. Every hurricane season feels like a gamble.
With that in mind, I’m here to offer my hurricane forecast and odds for the season.
While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and our local meteorologists give you forecasts based on things like satellites and data, my highly scientific predictions are based purely on one thing: hurricane names.
