Ham Weather

Ham Weather is an informational resource that helps amateur radio operators understand space weather and its effects on radio propagation. It translates data from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center and other listed sources into practical guidance on current conditions, likely developments, and what they may mean for the bands. Its dashboard presents key indicators, including Kp, A, F10.7, and GOES X-ray readings, with explanations intended to help hams assess geomagnetic stability, noise risk, higher-band potential, and the possibility of absorption or radio fadeouts.

The site offers propagation guidance for choosing bands, paths, and operating times, along with solar-cycle context to explain changing conditions such as the performance of 10 meters. Educational resources include a quick-start guide, a space-weather primer, and a longer guidebook available to view online or download. Ham Weather also provides access to local weather information and NWS forecasts, plus links to data sources and related learning materials. Its content is informational and is designed to turn space-weather data into useful operating intuition for ham radio users.
