## What is Aurora Forecast & Alerts?

Your next aurora is waiting. Know exactly when and where to look.

Lux is the aurora app that turns live space weather data into one clear answer: your personal aurora probability score. No guessing. No deciphering raw numbers. Open the aurora forecast tracker and see your chance of witnessing the northern lights tonight. Whether you are an aurora watcher in Iceland or Alaska, or want a northern lights app that works — Lux delivers.

SMARTER THAN A KP NUMBER

Most aurora forecast apps hand you a KP index and leave you to figure out the rest. Lux does the thinking. Our aurora probability engine weighs six factors at once: KP index, Bz magnetic field direction, solar wind speed, cloud cover, light pollution, and darkness at your location. The KP forecast for aurora is one number you can act on. If it says 82%, grab your coat.

AURORA MAP AND 3D GLOBE

Explore a real-time aurora map powered by the NOAA aurora model, or switch to the aurora forecast 3D globe and watch the aurora oval sweep across the Earth. The northern lights tracker map shows where the aurora borealis is visible now. Locate the aurora borealis now with a single tap. Toggle cloud cover to find clear skies. Turn on the light pollution layer to discover the darkest spots near you.

NORTHERN LIGHTS FORECAST

View the hourly aurora borealis forecast and alerts for the next 24 hours. Check the 3-day geomagnetic storm outlook. Browse the 27-day space weather forecast to plan a trip. The northern light aurora forecast updates with live space weather data from NOAA northern lights monitoring satellites. Aurora northern light forecast data and aurora activity refresh every few minutes. Aurora forecast northern light coverage spans both hemispheres.

AURORA ALERTS AND NOTIFICATIONS

Lux is the aurora alert app that sends smart aurora alerts and northern lights alerts only when conditions align. Every aurora notification is context-aware: not just "KP is 5" but "KP 5, clear skies, dark in 20 minutes — head north." Aurora forecast alerts arrive in real time. Aurora alert realtime means no spam, no delay. During geomagnetic storms, your Dynamic Island lights up with a Live Activity showing real-time KP and aurora probability. Aurora borealis forecast alert at the right moment means you never miss a storm. Think of Lux as your aurora notifier that actually works.

AURORA WATCH AT A GLANCE

Six widgets built for the night keep your aurora watch dashboard on Lock Screen, Home Screen, or StandBy mode. The aurora forecast tracker refreshes every 15 minutes at your fingertips.

AURORA COMMUNITY AND PHOTOS

When someone spots the aurora nearby, you will know. The aurora community shares verified northern lights photo captures with location and timestamp. Confirm northern lights aurora alerts before heading out. Use the aurora camera for your own aurora photo captures and share them. Build your aurora photography collection.
