I have added predicted values of the K index for mid and high latitudes, as well as probabilities of solar flares: http://www.hfunderground.com/propagation/

Enjoy!

Any chance you could add sunspot info somewhere too?

Thank You for all the hard work around here!

I found some graphs of the solar cycle progression, including sunspot number, which I added, as well as a map that is updated daily showing the solar regions.  If there's any specific image URLs you know of that might also be useful, let me know.

Wow, that's a lot of useful information, all on one page.

Thanks for putting that together, and maintaining it. It's very cool.
