I read over the previous comments about the Space Weather page. A complete re-write was necessary to address the previous comments and more. Much of the old material was kept. The old material kept was re-arranged and incorporated into the new material. Some of the specific items addressed in the re-write were:
This page is closely related to the geomagnetic storm page. There is some redundancy between the space weather and geomagnetic storm pages. The geomagnetic storm should also be revised. Richfj ( talk) 12:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Although previous contributions to the entry are greatly appreciated, in my opinion the entry on Space Weather is at the moment quite fragmented and contains partially inaccurate information. General reconstruction of the entry may thus be beneficial. This in mind, Ground Effects Topical Group of European Space Agency's Space Weather Working Team (SWWT) contributed a new section on ground effects of space weather to the entry. Perhaps other space weather experts, for example, from other Topical Groups of SWWT could contribute similar basics-level (more in depth text could be given in more specific articles like that on geomagnetically induced currents) sections to the entry?

At present, this section refers only to links between the space environment and terrestrial climate (not terrestrial weather). Suggest change of name of this section to "Space weather and its effects on climate". Heliophysics ( talk) 10:11, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
This section only cites the, at best, "fringe" ideas and completely disregards the huge number of mainstream studies. Suggest, at the very least, briefly summarising and citing Gray et al., 2010, Solar influences on climate, doi:10.1029/2009RG000282, which has been cited in the literature nearly 600 times. Heliophysics ( talk) 10:11, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
There have been some studies of space weather and its effects on terrestrial weather, particularly relating to lightning (e.g., Lightning as a space-weather hazard: UK thunderstorm activity modulated by the passage of the heliospheric current sheet, Owens et al., Geophys. Res. Lett. doi:10.1002/2015GL066802), but those are still under scrutiny by the community. Heliophysics ( talk) 10:11, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Do we rally need 32 external links on space weather? I'll see if I can eliminate at least few of them. Any help would be appreciated. -- Dia^ ( talk) 15:23, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
This section lacks mention of any Earth-observing satellites with space weather or geomagnetic instruments and missions. From the current writeup, you'd thing the only thing that matters is solar observation. Auroral oval, near-Earth particle flux measurements, and even ionospheric thickness measurements using GPS signal delay and attenuation are critical and practical elements of space weather, and the instruments involved are all Earth-observing. -- Gnoitall ( talk) 00:02, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
I feel it should be noted that there is a rating system for solar weather, as with hurricanes, etc. As to whether it should be on this page, it's own page, or as a footnote on Geomagnetic Storms and so on I couldn't say. Michael Isaiah Schmidt ( talk) 07:32, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
How does the weather and climate distinction apply to the outer space? Fgnievinski ( talk) 02:52, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
The SW prediction centre etc provide forecasts for polar airflights and for satellite operators. What do they predict and how far out can they predict or forecast ? - Rod57 ( talk) 21:56, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
