Aurora Forecast: Track the Northern Lights with NOAA and OVATION

Get the latest updates on the location and intensity of the aurora

Based on NOAA scales and the OVATION model

Are you planning a trip to see the Northern Lights? Or just curious about when and where you might be able to see them? Now you can get a short-term forecast of the aurora's location and intensity based on the OVATION model. You can also find out the 3-day forecast of aurora visibility in different regions based on NOAA scales.

The OVATION model is a computer model that uses measurements of the solar wind to predict the location and intensity of the aurora. The NOAA scales are a set of numbers that indicate the likelihood of seeing the aurora in a given region. A scale of 1 means that there is a very low chance of seeing the aurora, while a scale of 9 means that there is a very high chance of seeing the aurora.

To get the latest aurora forecast, visit the NOAA website or the OVATION website. You can also follow NOAA and OVATION on social media for updates.
