The viewing index is an illustrative estimate, not a scientifically validated percentage probability. Light pollution, local terrain and rapidly changing weather affect visibility. NOAA OVATION is a short-range model, not a 12-hour aurora forecast.
HOW IT WORKS
NOAA estimates where aurora may be visible in the near term. Conditions can change quickly.
Even strong aurora can be hidden by clouds. We use local forecasts from MET Norway.
Dark skies help you see aurora. We estimate the sun’s altitude below the horizon.
