Chasing the Northern Lights? Aurora Hunter brings aurora forecasts, cloud cover, wind, local weather, live webcams, space weather data and community reports together in one free app. Built for first-time travelers, photographers and experienced aurora hunters, it helps you understand not only whether geomagnetic activity is strong, but whether conditions where you are actually give you a chance to see the sky. FIND CLEAR SKIES Even a powerful aurora can be invisible under thick cloud. Check local conditions and quickly identify areas with a better chance of clear skies. LIVE WEATHER & WIND Check temperature, cloud cover and local forecasts. Use the live wind map to understand how conditions may develop and where clearer skies could appear next. AURORA FORECAST Go beyond a simple KP index. Aurora Hunter combines geomagnetic activity, local weather, cloud cover and live information to help you assess real viewing conditions. REAL-TIME COMMUNITY REPORTS Aurora hunters can share sightings from their location and contribute live information. Reports help nearby users decide whether it is worth heading outside. LIVE WEBCAMS Watch selected webcams from some of the world’s best Northern Lights destinations and see what is happening elsewhere when your own sky is cloudy. AURORA OVAL MAP Track the auroral oval in real time and understand your position relative to current geomagnetic activity. LIVE SPACE WEATHER DATA Follow solar wind speed, density, Bz, KP index and other geomagnetic parameters. Learn the patterns that can signal improving aurora conditions. LEARN TO HUNT THE AURORA Discover how the Northern Lights work, how to read forecasts, choose a location and plan a night under the sky. LOCAL TOURS & GUIDES Discover selected local guides, photographers and aurora experiences in leading Northern Lights destinations. Aurora Hunter is made for real nights outside: dark, simple, free and designed to help you make better decisions when every minute matters. Find clear skies.
