Look to the predictable skies with Space Weather

Published by at

The Space Weather team are rather proud that they've been picked up as one of the 'Spotlight' apps in the Windows Store this week, and quite rightly. The application is one of many weather applications available for the platform, but it's one of the few that looks out from the atmosphere, and into space.

Charting geomagnetic and solar radiation storms in real time, predictions, and lots of strong graphics and artwork, Space Weather certainly feels the part. Looking at the reviews online, it seems to do the business as well for those who need this sort of information.
