Aurora Vision
Northern Lights Forecast
Free · Designed for iPad
Will you see aurora tonight? Get live visibility scores, cloud analysis, and alerts only when it’s worth going out.
See the northern lights when they are actually visible.
Aurora Vision helps you know exactly when and where the aurora can be seen from your location—without guessing, false alarms, or wasted nights.
Many people travel long distances hoping to see the aurora, only to be stopped by clouds or go out on the wrong night. Other apps rely on generic alerts and confusing numbers that don’t reflect real visibility. Aurora Vision focuses on what truly matters: clear skies, timing, and your exact location.
Each day you get a simple, honest aurora prediction you can check in the morning and use to plan your evening with confidence. Instead of waking you in the middle of the night for weak activity, Aurora Vision sends alerts only when conditions are genuinely worth going outside.
We turn complex space and weather information into one clear aurora score, so you instantly know if tonight is the night. High score? Grab your camera. Low score? Relax and try another evening. No technical terms, no guesswork—just clarity.
Aurora Vision also helps you plan ahead with multi-day forecasts, making it easier to choose the best nights for tours, photography, or travel. Find nearby dark-sky locations, avoid crowded tourist spots, and discover where locals go for the best views.
The app works worldwide, from Iceland and Scandinavia to Canada, Alaska, Scotland, New Zealand, and Australia. Predictions are adjusted for each region, so you only get alerts when the aurora is truly visible where you are.
Aurora Vision is built for travelers, photographers, and anyone who wants to experience the magic of the northern and southern lights—without frustration, false hope, or missed opportunities.
