About AuroraMe: Aurora Forecast Map
3D GLOBE AURORA MAP
See real-time aurora activity across the planet on an interactive globe. Toggle aurora probability heatmap overlay to spot where the lights are dancing now. Switch between dark and NASA satellite night themes. Day/night terminator zones show viewing windows instantly. Tap anywhere on the globe to check aurora probability and add tracking locations.
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
Daily aurora activity summaries for trip planning. Shows best 6-hour viewing windows per day. Excludes unreliable long-range weather predictions to prevent false hopes. Perfect for planning aurora hunting expeditions and photography trips weeks ahead.
AURORA HISTORY
11 years of history and Sun Pro insights. Best months algorithm shows optimal times to visit any location. Calendar heatmap displays 12 months of aurora intensity patterns.
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
Four reality factors combined: space weather from NOAA OVATION model + real-time KP index, cloud coverage forecasts, sun altitude and moon illumination, magnetic latitude thresholds. When all factors align during dark hours with clear skies, you get notified.
FOR AURORA HUNTERS & PHOTOGRAPHERS
Whether in Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Scotland, or northern US — avoid wasted drives and cloudy nights. Save viewing spots, set alert sensitivity, let the app monitor conditions 24/7. Photographers get probability data fo

About AuroraMe: Northern Lights App
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.
