Other Solar Data Sources
Of course I think my Solar Widget(s) are the best, but there are other free sources available. You choose which one you like the best.

Julian (G4ILO) offers an html panel (WebProp) with SN, flux, Indicies, and band conditions.
Patrick (N0HR) offers a solar panel (PropagationStats) with flux, Indicies, and warnings.

Kevin (N3KL) offers two status bars for X-ray and Geomag field.

Anthony (KA9NWM) at wattsupwiththat offers a World Climate Widget with SN, Flux, and solar image.

Allard (PE1NWL) at DXrobot - Gouda offers five band condition status bars for VHF Aurora, North American 2m Es, and Europe 2/4/6m Es.

Ansgar (DG2KBC) at Make More Miles on VHF offers three status graphs for EME, Europe Es and Meteor Scatter.

Elmer (PH5E) at Rig Reference offers a widget that indicates which current HF bands are open.

Claudio (IW1QLH) at HRDLOG offers a gadget that indicates current HF activity, solar image, solar flux, & sunspot number.

Derek (W4DTB) at OCRA offers a gadget that uses the N0NBH xml file to create a text and image gadget similar to what I offer from a php file. You can download the Source and some examples, along with the readme file from the following link.

Marv (W4ZD) offers a gadget that uses the N0NBH xml file to create an html color coded band conditions chart. Click the following link, and follow the instructions.

Jul 19 2022 - Smoothed Sunspot data (SN) from NOAA SWPC is now updated at 00:00 UTC every day on all banners and xml/rss data. Its the same data and value just much earlier (like 12 hours) than the old NOAA SWPC source. NWRA Effective Smoothed Sunspot Numbers (SNe) is still available on the solarn0nbh.php banner. See FAQ page for configeration information.

NOAA SWPC WSA-Enlil Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) Solar Wind Prediction Model

Courtesy of NOAA SWPC. Still of the latest model run is provided directly below when a CME event is predicted, along with comments from SWPC. A tutorial is provided below that, which helps in understanding the model output.
Please visit the NOAA SWPC WSA-Enlil Solar Wind Prediction page for the full functionality of modes, time, speed, and additional information.

Click link or image to visit the Storm or CME Prediction Model page. Note that SWPC only updates the CME-based model when there is a potentially earth-directed CME.

This is a GREAT tool for viewing CME events, and the corresponding solar wind speed and density for use in predicting both Auroral events and HF blackout conditions.

NOAA SWPC WSA-Enlil CME Solar Wind Prediction Model Tutorial

Here is a tutorial NOAA SWPC WSA-Enlil CME Solar Wind Prediction Model. Clicking in the image will also open the full featured NOAA SWPC webpage.

Great tool for predicting HF blackouts and Auroral events!

OVATION Aurora Prediction Model

Courtesy of NOAA SWPC.
New Auroral Forecast product is based on the OVATION Prime model which provides a 30-40 minute forecast on the location and probability of auroral displays for both the northern and southern polar regions
