About

Nordlys tells you when you can actually see the aurora – not just how strong the solar storm is. The forecast weighs activity, darkness, clouds and the Moon for exactly where you stand, hour by hour, and alerts you when it's worth going outside. Real-time data from NOAA, GFZ Potsdam, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and NASA, combined into one honest answer. TONIGHT • Aurora score for your location, continuously updated • Hour-by-hour view of tonight's conditions with the best window • Moon, clouds and darkness computed for your exact spot • Hand-picked dark-sky viewpoints nearby • Solar storm banner when a CME is heading for Earth • Share the magic: send tonight's chance, the best night or your aurora photo as a share card AURORA PRO • Hour-by-hour forecast, adjusted live by Kp and the solar wind – and how sure we are • Alerts that guide you: chance tonight, dark enough now, go out now – only when the sky is usable • The oval right now: how far north of you its southern edge sits • NOAA's official watches, warnings and alerts, translated into plain language • Camera tonight: settings for phone and camera, tuned to tonight's light and Moon • Magnetometer near you and a substorm alert, all-sky camera and keogram, the Sun's active regions and the solar cycle • Morning report: what we promised, what was measured – and your own alert thresholds for Bz, Hp30 and coupling • Last week's Kp, 3-day chart and 27-day outlook • Solar wind, Bz, density and coupling (Newell), Hp30, solar flares and hemispheric power • Star map in AR, real-time map with the auroral oval, live webcams and Live Activity Plus: a complete photo guide for iPhone, camera and other phones, home and lock screen widgets, and an AR compass showing where the aurora will appear. Aurora Pro costs 19 NOK/month or 149 NOK/year after a 7-day free trial. The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled anytime in your App Store settings.
