Background

Former SMHI meteorologist who reads the solar wind the way other people read a bus timetable. Tomas built the short-range aurora model that Perigee licenses for its northern sites, and he still calls every guest personally at 16:00 to say whether the night is worth the drive.

“A forecast is a promise you make to somebody standing in minus twenty. I do not make it lightly.”
