do you consult sun activity forecast to be aware of the solar wind speeds, sun spots, solar flares, etc. so that you can take precautions?

attention everyone!

there is a new sunspot sighted on the face of the sun that is towards us and solar flares are inbound so take precaution! -keewi out
Comments:
I get updates from the NASA space weather site, simply because I find the information interesting.

With those little news items come warnings about solar flares and their expected intensity.

Weather forecast in general

I do plan a vacation keeping in mind the general weather of the area i am going to but not is such detail as to know the solar wind speed and all...Maybe becasue I live in a tropical country and the sun does not really bother me that much...:)
Comments:
great! thanks for the input

...only if we had some more people here
and by the way, here is some great site about such info... "http://www.spaceweather.com/"
i think, where ever one may live on this planet, being precautious is a good thing especially in this appa
...lling planetary state.

It's funny keewi

but it is always the fair skinned ones who shouldn't be in the sun at all who spend most of their time sunbathing, and usually unprotected. I have an olive meditarranean complexion and tan easily, yet I rarely sit in the sun for more than a half hour and never without suncream. None of my family do either. We KNOW how much damage the sun can do.

Gigantopithecus died of exposure to heat y'know... tis very well of you. tho probably you don't have to worry as much as the old fellow.

We don't worry about the small stuff

We sometimes just travel, with no formal destination, no concern for weather, no strict itinerary, no worries. That's what "vacation" means to us.

i have read

that there has been increased sunspot activity for the last few years and we are building up to a major flare... apparently these things come in cycles..

just as a reminder

i would like to note that although sun activity levels are quiet benign nowadays, earth is engulfed in a mild solar wind stream which is projected from a coronal hole which means solar radiation is sustained by a concentrated magnetic field and that means as it is summer time in the north hemisphere you people going for sea sun fun thing (or simply sun and fun) better do some moderation. -just an advice...

You know...

only in the 21st century could such a question be asked but, no, I never check such information before going on vacation.

and only in the 21st century has earth been so traumatized that sun's effects are more dangerous than ever before.

i don't check

but that's because i know what the weather will be like in my chosen vacation spot. THat's why i chose it!

I don't do much sunbathing anyway, and always wear a high factor sun protection.
Comments:

Comments:

so i hereby would like to appologize for any -altough wrongly taken- grievence given to anybody.
