A location-aware aurora forecast that combines geomagnetic activity, cloud cover, moonlight, darkness, and light pollution.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.
For
People deciding whether to look for auroras tonight
Worth noticing
The forecast weights Kp, clouds, moon, darkness, and Bortle-class light pollution separately.

Field notes

The forecast decomposes visibility into five weighted inputs rather than relying on geomagnetic activity alone: Kp carries 35% of the score, followed by clouds at 25%, with moon, darkness, and pollution making up the remainder. Its methodology distinguishes astronomical twilight from sunset and uses example location thresholds, including Kp 7 for London and Kp 3 for Tromsø. The page also warns that its 27-day outlook is for planning, not a guaranteed display.
