Description
The aurora borealis (or northern lights) is a spectacular natural phenomenon which can occasionally be seen in the night sky over Britain. Once seen, it is never forgotten.
AuroraWatch UK is a free service offering alerts when the aurora might be visible from the UK. It is run by scientists in the Space and Planetary Physics group at Lancaster University’s Department of Physics.
The AuroraWatch UK app for iOS is written, run and maintained by Neil Morton at Progress Concepts Limited, in association with AuroraWatch UK, giving you the data at your fingertips on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, and delivering free real-time alerts whenever aurora is likely to be visible from the UK.
Alerts are configurable within the app to different levels, so you will know when to look out for aurora wherever you are.

Ratings and Reviews
Exciting
In planning my trip to UK, I found a suggestion to get an Aurora app. I downloaded several. When I found this one, I figured what’s one more. This is the only app that has given me any alerts. In playing around with it, I found the live camera feeds as well. I love this app and share activity from it often with my friends. Just increases my excitement about going to UK and hopefully see The Aurora.
