Editorial standards & AI-use policy

How MeteoStorms researches, writes and reviews its space-weather content — and exactly where and how we use AI. We aim to be accurate, useful and honest about our methods.

How our articles are made

Our news and explainers start from data, not opinion. Each article is generated from live measurements and official forecasts — the Kp index, the NOAA G-scale, solar wind and atmospheric pressure — sourced from NOAA SWPC and GFZ Potsdam.

Before an article is published it is checked by a member of our editorial team for accuracy, tone and clarity. We correct anything that does not match the underlying data.

How we use AI

We use AI to help draft and translate articles quickly from the underlying space-weather data, and to create illustrations. AI lets us cover changing conditions in 28 languages within minutes.

AI never has the final word. A person reviews the data and the text before publishing, and AI-generated illustrations are labelled as such. We do not use AI to invent facts, figures or sources.

Our standards

Whoever — or whatever — writes the first draft, every article follows the same rules:

  • Every figure is traceable to an official source (NOAA SWPC, GFZ Potsdam).
  • No scare headlines and no alarmism — we report conditions calmly and in context.
  • No medical claims or diagnoses; wellbeing effects are described as possible correlations, not certainties.
  • Times and data are given in UTC and dated, so you know how fresh they are.
  • AI-assisted text is human-reviewed, and AI illustrations are clearly marked.

Accuracy & corrections

We work hard to get things right, but mistakes can happen. If you spot an error in any article — a wrong number, an outdated forecast or a confusing explanation — please tell us and we will review and correct it promptly. Write to webmaster@meteostorms.com

Where our data comes from

Every figure on MeteoStorms traces back to an official, openly published source. We do not produce space-weather measurements ourselves — we read, translate and explain them.
