Aurora Forecast – Where Can You See the Northern Lights?
The northern lights may become visible from regions such as Brønnøy, Brønnøysund, and Vefsn when the sky is dark and clear. Each area shows both the forecasted aurora probability and expected cloud cover for the time indicated in the alert.
This forecast provides an overview of likely northern lights activity for the coming days. It is updated once or twice daily and offers a useful indication rather than a precise prediction.
Note: The information is for guidance only. Timing and intensity may change due to space weather and local conditions.
About the Data
Real-time measurements of the solar wind are collected by satellites located between the Sun and Earth. These data help forecast what will reach Earth’s magnetic field within 30–60 minutes. The Kp index indicates the expected strength of auroral activity.
The forecasts and evaluations on this site are based on a combination of open measurement data and independent analysis. Real-time information is sourced from instruments monitoring space weather, including data from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). These cover solar wind speed, Bz magnetic field orientation, and the Kp index.
