AuroraWatch: Global Aurora Forecast & Northern Lights Tracker Track the Northern Lights and Aurora Australis worldwide with AuroraWatch. Get aurora forecasts, real-time space weather, and local weather in one native app—so you can plan a chase, watch from home, or learn what’s happening above your horizon. AuroraWatch combines NOAA’s Ovation aurora model with KP index, solar wind, and cloud cover where you are (or where you’re headed). KEY FEATURES Aurora forecasts & maps Interactive maps show aurora probability from NOAA’s Ovation model, with optional global cloud cover so you can weigh geomagnetic activity against sky clarity. KP & space weather Follow the planetary K-index with recent history and short-term outlooks. Open Solar Wind details for speed, density, and IMF Bz—the drivers behind aurora intensity. Solar imagery & space weather Explore the Solar tab: SDO-style solar views, flare probabilities, GOES X-ray context, and space-weather summaries. Pro unlocks deeper charts and solar wind history. Weather where it matters Current conditions and forecasts for your location or saved places—including cloud cover, because clear skies matter as much as strong geomagnetic activity. Learn aurora chasing Built-in guides explain the aurora, storms, solar wind, and how to read the data—on Home and in Settings.
