Editorial interest 74/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A globe-based aurora forecast pairs city views for now and tonight with a 3-day Kp outlook and forecasts for 48 cities.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-21 issue.

For: Aurora watchers planning when and where to look
Worth noticing: The storm preview is explicitly labeled simulated, not live; cloud-cover data is listed as available from the National Weather Service where available.

Field notes

The page identifies NOAA SWPC’s OVATION model, planetary K-index, and real-time solar wind as forecast inputs, alongside NASA night-light and satellite layers and National Weather Service cloud cover where available. Its city directory spans North America, Europe and Iceland, and the Southern Hemisphere. The interface distinguishes forecast information from a storm preview labeled simulated, not live; volumetric aurora rendering is marked for desktop.
