About this app

See the Northern Lights with confidence. AuroraMe combines real-time space weather and local sky conditions into clear visibility forecasts, a 3D globe, and timely alerts.

3D GLOBE AURORA MAP

See real-time aurora activity on an interactive globe. Toggle the aurora heatmap, switch between dark and NASA satellite themes, check day/night zones, and tap anywhere to inspect or save a location.

AURORA SCORE

Aurora Score combines space weather, magnetic latitude, darkness, clouds, and moonlight into a 0–100 viewing score. It is a model score, not a calibrated probability.

SMART AURORA ALERTS

Alerts are sent only for your active locations. We factor in darkness, cloud cover, moonlight, and geomagnetic activity, so an alert means a high chance, not a 100% guarantee. Forecast, storm, KP, and solar flare alerts are heads-ups to get ready. Before heading out, open the map to confirm conditions.

72-HOUR FORECAST

Hourly aurora predictions paired with weather data. See cloud percentage, moon phase, darkness windows, and temperature hour-by-hour. Use "Best Time" filter to show only optimal aurora viewing hours. Free users: 24-hour preview. Premium: full 72-hour detailed forecast with extended planning.

27-DAY TREND CALENDAR

Plan weeks ahead with daily activity summaries and the best 6-hour viewing window for each day. Long-range weather is excluded because it is not reliable enough.

AURORA HISTORY

11 years of history and Sun Pro insights. A best-month view and calendar heatmap reveal seasonal activity patterns for your selected location.

FIND NEAREST AURORA

Discover active aurora within 2000 km of your location. Distance-first algorithm finds the nearest visible displays for spontaneous aurora chasing. Perfect for road trips when conditions shift unexpectedly.

67,500+ LOCATIONS OFFLINE

Search cities across 252 countries with instant offline results. Track unlimited locations with independent notification settings for each. No background GPS tracking — your privacy protected.

HOW IT WORKS

Six viewing factors work together: NOAA space-weather/Kp activity, cloud cover, darkness, moonlight, magnetic latitude, and optional sky-quality context. Alerts fire when current local conditions meet your threshold.

FOR AURORA HUNTERS & PHOTOGRAPHERS

Whether in Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Scotland, or the northern US, save viewing spots and let AuroraMe monitor conditions. Photographers get score and factor data for better shooting windows.

FREE — EVERYTHING YOU NEED

1 location, full 24-hour forecast, aurora, storm, Kp and solar-flare alerts, all 6 map overlays, and forecast data refreshed every 15 minutes.

PREMIUM — FOR AURORA CHASERS

Unlimited locations worldwide, 72-hour forecast, 27-day trip planner calendar, Best Time filter, Best Month & seasonal heatmap, Nearest Aurora finder, advanced alerts (predictive, Storm Watch, CME Impact ETA, Local Window, Weekly Forecast), Sun Pro AI-powered solar analytics.

PRIVACY

Location used only when you choose — no background tracking.

LANGUAGES

Use the full app interface and alerts in 37 supported languages.

Aurora visibility depends on space weather conditions and cannot be guaranteed. Always check local conditions and dress warmly for night viewing.

What did you prefer in the previous map? You can send a screenshot or describe the particular change at support@auroraforecast.me. I’d like to understand what you want back. Nikolai Creator of AuroraMe

Gives guesses on Aurora that change drastically every couple of hours. I upgraded to premium and then downgraded. After I stopped paying for the subscription the app started telling me that I couldn't use my current location because it was a premium location. Then the near term forecast stopped showing. Not worth paying for long term forecasts that are never right.

Free access includes one saved location and the 24-hour forecast. You can replace that saved location without upgrading. If your only location is still marked Premium, email a screenshot and app version to support@auroraforecast.me. Nikolai Creator of AuroraMe

when you get done setting up it says see your forecast! click it and the app closes! Don't waist your time or money. This app appears to be garbage. How am I supposed to email you if I don't have an email address!

I'm sorry the app crashed after setup. My email is support@auroraforecast.me. If you can't use email, you can add details to this review instead. If it's still crashing, which Android version are you using? Nikolai Creator of AuroraMe
