Why Choose Aurora Admin Over Free Apps?
SMS Alerts That Actually Wake You Up
Free apps use push notifications that your phone's ‘Do Not Disturb' silences. We send SMS texts or phone calls that break through, even in remote areas with weak cellular connections. When auroras appear at 2 AM, you'll actually know about it.
Real-Time Data from 7+ Sources
Basic apps check one outdated measurement: yesterday's KP index. Our proprietary algorithm analyzes 7+ live space weather streams including Bz direction, solar wind speed, density, and substorm detection. It's like checking live Doppler radar instead of yesterday's weather report.
100km Hyper-Local Accuracy
Free apps use NOAA's 500km grid zones,vthe size of an entire state or county. Aurora Admin pinpoints conditions within 100km of your exact coordinates. You get alerts for your backyard, not your entire region.

Aurora Alerts for Unexpected Places
Most people think aurora notifications are only useful in places like Iceland or Alaska. But during strong geomagnetic storms, northern lights can appear much farther south than you'd expect.
Aurora Admin brings real-time aurora alerts to locations most people never thought possible. That simple SMS notification at 2 AM might lead to a memory you'll talk about for years.
Recent Surprise Aurora Locations

- Calgary, Alberta (51.0°N)
- Vilnius, Lithuania (54.7°N)
- Edinburgh, Scotland (55.9°N)
- Copenhagen, Denmark (55.7°N)
During major geomagnetic storms, auroras have been visible as far south as 40°N latitude. In extreme cases (November 2025) Auroras have been seen in Floridia and even reported in El Salvador!
Don't assume the lights can't reach you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are aurora alerts?
Aurora alerts are super exciting notifications that keep you updated on the chances of witnessing the breathtaking northern lights! If you're hoping to catch a glimpse, these alerts are your best friend!
How accurate are the aurora alerts?
Aurora forecasting has inherent uncertainty due to the unpredictable nature of space weather. Our alerts are based on real-time data from space weather instruments and aim to notify you when conditions are favorable. While we can't guarantee every alert will result in visible auroras, we help maximize your chances of catching displays by notifying you when conditions improve.
What's the difference between phone calls and texts?
Phone calls are ideal if you want to be woken up for aurora displays, as they're more likely to wake you from sleep. Text messages are less intrusive and work well if you prefer to check notifications at your convenience. You can choose your preferred method during setup or change the alert type at any time.

Our SMS alerts work on any phone without internet or app installation, and won't be blocked by phone settings like app notifications can be.
