Re: Met Office to offer daily space weather forecasts


	Quote: The Met Office is to begin offering daily forecasts about the weather in space. The 24 hour service will aim to help businesses and government departments by providing early warnings of solar storms that can disrupt satellites, radio communications and power grids. The first forecast is expected to be available next spring.

Nasa has been doing this for years. They warn satellite operators about coming CME that will impact satellites, so they can shut them down for as long as necessary before reactivating.
