About this app

See the Northern Lights with confidence. AuroraMe combines real-time space weather and local sky conditions into clear visibility forecasts, a 3D globe, and timely alerts.

3D GLOBE AURORA MAP

See real-time aurora activity on an interactive globe. Toggle the aurora heatmap, switch between dark and NASA satellite themes, check day/night zones, and tap anywhere to inspect or save a location.

AURORA SCORE

Aurora Score combines space weather, magnetic latitude, darkness, clouds, and moonlight into a 0–100 viewing score. It is a model score, not a calibrated probability.

SMART AURORA ALERTS

Alerts are sent only for your active locations. We factor in darkness, cloud cover, moonlight, and geomagnetic activity, so an alert means a high chance, not a 100% guarantee. Forecast, storm, KP, and solar flare alerts are heads-ups to get ready. Before heading out, open the map to confirm conditions.

72-HOUR FORECAST

Hourly aurora predictions paired with weather data. See cloud percentage, moon phase, darkness windows, and temperature hour-by-hour. Use "Best Time" filter to show only optimal aurora viewing hours. Free users: 24-hour preview. Premium: full 72-hour detailed forecast with extended planning.

27-DAY TREND CALENDAR

Plan weeks ahead with daily activity summaries and the best 6-hour viewing window for each day. Long-range weather is excluded because it is not reliable enough.

AURORA HISTORY

11 years of history and Sun Pro insights. A best-month view and calendar heatmap reveal seasonal activity patterns for your selected location.

FIND NEAREST AURORA

Discover active aurora within 2000 km of your location. Distance-first algorithm finds the nearest visible displays for spontaneous aurora chasing. Perfect for road trips when conditions shift unexpectedly.

67,500+ LOCATIONS OFFLINE

Search cities across 252 countries with instant offline results. Track unlimited locations with independent notification settings for each. No background GPS tracking — your privacy protected.

HOW IT WORKS

Six viewing factors work together: NOAA space-weather/Kp activity, cloud cover, darkness, moonlight, magnetic latitude, and optional sky-quality context. Alerts fire when current local conditions meet your threshold.

FOR AURORA HUNTERS & PHOTOGRAPHERS

Whether in Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Scotland, or the northern US, save viewing spots and let AuroraMe monitor conditions. Photographers get score and factor data for better shooting windows.

Aurora visibility depends on space weather conditions and cannot be guaranteed. Always check local conditions and dress warmly for night viewing.

Ratings and reviews

when you get done setting up it says see your forecast! click it and the app closes! Don't waist your time or money. This app appears to be garbage. How am I supposed to email you if I don't have an email address!

v.1.4.8 DEVICE NOTIFICATIONS for FAKE price reductions? Everyday price $29.99. Sale price $29.99. This just entered the SCAM ZONE! I'm pretty sure you know where you can shove this app. UNINSTALLED. I wouldn't pay that much for an app that actually works! UPDATE: App shows $29.99/year or $5.99/wk. That's $312/52 wks.

Classic.. hooks you in, asks you a bunch of questions, then asks for a subscription. You can use the basic version for free but its pants. Don't bother.

What’s new

The app opens faster. Screens you can't see no longer do their loading in the background before you ever get to them.

Also fixed: forecast dates could land on the wrong day in some time zones, adding your first location could crash the app, and the rating request no longer interrupts your first run.
