Substorms are arguably the greatest source of uncertainty in predicting the state of the upper atmosphere. It is generally agreed that they proceed through a cycle of slow energy build-up and explosive release, but predicting even basic properties such as the time and amount of energy release remains elusive. In this talk, I will review research done at BAS in collaboration with the University of Newcastle Australia and Imperial College London in which the intermittency and predictability of substorms has been studied using a minimal model based on a random walk. In particular, I will discuss work in progress that provides possible clues to substorm behaviour by comparison of their occurrence at Earth, Jupiter and Saturn.
