Welcome to the Southern African Space Weather and Ionospheric Information home page. Here you will find information on the ionosphere over Southern Africa and other relevant South African Space Weather information. Any comments or suggestions can be sent to the Regional Warning Centre for Africa at rwc@hmo.ac.za.
If you are new to space weather, please click here for an introduction to the subject. Get the latest space weather conditions and predictions here. Or, if you are interested in the magnetic and ionospheric data for the region, go to the SANSA space weather site here. CURRENT CONDITIONS: Solar activity is low to moderate. X-ray flux is below C-class levels. The solar wind speed is at 409km/s, which is still above background (300km/s). The Bz angle is fluctuating around zero. Geomagnetic conditions are at quiet levels. Local HF working frequencies are unstable to depressed from monthly average predicted values. OUTLOOK: Solar activity is expected to be low to moderate. Propagation conditions are expected to be quiet. Geomagnetic conditions are expected to be quiet. Local HF working frequencies are expected to be near monthly average predicted values for most of the time.
Below are the latest images from The SOHO Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope brought to you by The EIT Consortium when available. Full resolution versions of these images can be found at the SOHO spacecraft web site, or by clicking on the images below. The "CCD Bakeout" text that sometimes appear on these images refer to a regular (about once every 5 weeks) maintenance procedure performed on the SOHO satellite. This normally takes about a week, but about 20 days every three months.
