AuroraWatch: Aurora Alerts

Know exactly when to look up — wherever you are.

When a strong geomagnetic storm hits, the Aurora Australis can light up skies right across southern Australia — from Tasmania and Victoria to South Australia and southern WA. AuroraWatch tells you in real time when it's worth heading outside.

AuroraWatch brings together NOAA's OVATION aurora model, real-time KP index readings, live solar wind data from NOAA SWPC and your local cloud cover in one clear view. No clutter, no ads, no guesswork — just the data you need to know when the sky might put on a show.

WHY AURORAWATCH
Most aurora apps only cover the Northern Hemisphere. AuroraWatch tracks both the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis, so whether you're chasing lights in Tasmania, New Zealand, Canada or Norway, you get the same real-time data.
