Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)

The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) is a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States. It monitors and forecasts space weather, which includes phenomena like solar flares and geomagnetic storms. These events can affect satellite operations, communications, and even power grids on Earth. SWPC provides timely alerts and information to help protect technology and infrastructure from potential disruptions caused by space weather, thereby supporting public safety and the economy. Their work is vital for understanding how space weather impacts our daily lives.
