FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Aurora Forecasting

Get answers to common questions about northern lights tracking and aurora viewing.

What is the KP index and why is it important?

The KP index measures global geomagnetic activity on a scale of 0-9. Higher KP values (3+) indicate stronger geomagnetic storms that make aurora visible at lower latitudes. Our app provides real-time KP forecasts from NOAA satellites.

How far in advance can you predict aurora activity?

Aurora Forecast Tracker provides accurate predictions up to 3 days in advance using solar wind data and coronal mass ejection tracking. Short-term forecasts (3-6 hours) are most reliable for viewing planning.

Can I see aurora from my location?

Aurora visibility depends on your magnetic latitude, local weather, and geomagnetic activity. Our app calculates personalized visibility predictions for your exact location, considering light pollution and atmospheric conditions.

What makes this app different from other aurora apps?

Aurora Forecast Tracker combines NOAA satellite data, Ovation Model predictions, and advanced algorithms for 99.9% accuracy. Plus, our native Apple Watch app provides instant alerts and complications for real-time monitoring.
