3-Day Aurora Forecast Overview

Looking to find out if the auroras will be dancing overhead in the coming days? Our 3-Day Aurora Forecast provides a quick snapshot of predicted geomagnetic activity, represented by the Kp index. The Kp index is a helpful, baseline indicator of how intense auroral displays might be, with higher values often corresponding to more vibrant and far-reaching auroras. By checking the Kp index tonight, you can gauge whether those shimmering lights may grace your local skies. You can also plan ahead using our Kp index forecast and stay informed of the current Kp level.

However, it’s important to remember that the Kp index is only one piece of the puzzle. The true beauty and complexity of an aurora display depend on a range of factors, including solar wind conditions, the Earth’s magnetic field orientation, and local weather. That’s why our aurora forecast 3 day view is just the starting point. For a more comprehensive understanding, be sure to explore all the additional data and tools available on our dashboard. This broader context will help you get a clearer picture and improve your chances of catching a breathtaking auroral show.
