There aren't any space weather advisories, because we don't know, yet. Here's a pic.



And here's a page for finding stuff about the current sun conditions.

...and the service for space weather advisories.

SpaceWeather's reply to the hysteria cracked me up:

"Many readers are writing to ask if this sunspot is going to produce a major solar storm today, July 7th. Such a storm was "predicted" by a set of crop circles in England, and the solar blogosphere has been abuzz with speculation. The answer is "no." A major storm is not in the offing. Sunspot 1024 is relatively large, but it does not have the kind of complex magnetic field that poses a threat for major eruptions. Crop circles, it turns out, are not a useful tool for forecasting solar activity."

Finally we have an actual sunspot that can be counted based on historical methods vs hysterical padding.
