The Shipping Forecast For Space

Nick Harkaway just turned this up on Twitter: hfradiospacewx. It's "Space Weather and Radio Propagation Information," as provided by these people, who apparently could use a dollar or two through Paypal to keep going.

It's complete gibberish to the untrained eye:


Warning (1591): Geomagnetic K-index of 4 expected… Solar Wind: 519 km/s @ 3.0 protons/cm3… Flares: 6h hi (none) 24h hi (none) …No space weather storms are expected for the next 24 hours…


It is, in fact, The Shipping Forecast for space.
