About this app

Aurora Forecast is no longer just a data monitor — it's your intelligent personal aurora hunting guide.

Chasing the Northern Lights means decoding solar wind speed, the interplanetary magnetic field, and Kp indices. Aurora Forecast does the hard part for you and turns raw space weather into a clear answer to the only question that matters: "Can I see the aurora tonight?"

— AI AURORA ANALYST —
Our AI Aurora Analyst reads solar wind data, geomagnetic activity, your exact location, and the local weather, then delivers a clear, personalized "Go / No-Go" verdict. One glance instead of a dozen charts.

— COMMUNITY SIGHTINGS —
You're not alone when the sky lights up. See live sightings from people near you on the map, and "Seen near you" shows how many are watching the lights around you right now. Caught it yourself? Share with one tap so someone nearby can catch it in time. Anonymous by design — no account, and your location is coarsened for privacy.

— LIVE MAPS & 3D GLOBE —
• NOAA OVATION aurora forecast model
• Interactive aurora probability map
• 3D globe with real-time aurora visualization
• Cloud-cover overlay so you know if the sky is clear

— REAL-TIME SPACE WEATHER —
• Real-time solar wind & geomagnetic activity (data from NOAA SWPC)
• Multi-day Kp-index forecast charts
• Live aurora webcams from around the world

— HOME SCREEN WIDGETS —
Keep the current Kp-index and aurora outlook on your home screen and check conditions at a glance.

— BUILT FOR EVERYONE —
• 30+ languages supported
• Clean, fast, modern design

Whether you're a seasoned aurora chaser or hoping to see the Northern Lights for the very first time, Aurora Forecast puts real space weather science in your pocket.

— AURORA ULTIMATE —
Upgrade to Aurora Ultimate to unlock the AI Aurora Analyst, cloud sync, and home screen widgets, and enjoy an ad-free experience.

App is great. Just what I was looking for.

Have a "forecast" for a full 24 hours timespan is pointless. I know there's a storm coming that bumps the Kp up to at least 5 for about 6 hours, yet your app shows a Kp of 3. So either your data doesn't update, it's misleading (because of timespan) or it's just wrong. And just as an aside - for a graph to have any use it, needs and X AND Y axis. So this app is a great idea that just hasn't been fully realised. Paying for alerts is pointless if I can't rely on your data. Uninstalled.

Really not sure about this app. Great idea, but it doesn't appear to be managed well by the developer. Links to external NASA images have not been updated for months now and error messages are now displayed all the time. It is a shame, because, despite paying for alerts, I think I might have to delete it from my phone to make space for a other app.

What’s new

Your map, your way.

• New — the Layers panel. Switch the map type and turn webcams, clouds, sightings, and hotspots on or off. Your choices stick.
• New — tonight's and tomorrow night's viewlines from NOAA, right in the aurora forecast sheet.
• Hotspot pins now show the probability in the same colours as the forecast, and webcams load reliably again.

Thank you for chasing the aurora with us. 🌌
