Never miss the northern lights again. AuroraWatch Pro uses a scientific aurora probability model combining real-time NOAA solar wind data, Kp index monitoring, and local cloud coverage to give you the most accurate aurora borealis forecast available.

🌌 AURORA FORECAST & PROBABILITY
• Real-time aurora probability calculated from live solar wind speed, density, and Bz magnetic component
• Scientific prediction model — not just raw Kp numbers, but true location-based aurora probability
• Short-term probability timeline showing your chances now, in 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and beyond

📊 LIVE SOLAR ACTIVITY DATA
• Current Kp index from NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (https://www.swpc.noaa.gov) with 24-hour history charts
• Solar wind real-time monitoring — speed, particle density, and interplanetary magnetic field
• Solar flare and X-ray flux tracking to catch geomagnetic storm buildups early
• NASA SDO (https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov) solar imagery for space weather enthusiasts

🗺️ INTERACTIVE AURORA MAP
• NOAA Ovation model aurora map showing the northern lights oval in real-time
• See exactly where aurora borealis is visible right now, anywhere on Earth
• Powered by Mapbox GL for smooth, detailed map exploration

☁️ CLOUD COVERAGE TONIGHT
• Hourly cloud forecast for your location during nighttime viewing hours via Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com)
• Know exactly when skies will clear for aurora hunting
• Viewing quality ratings: Great, Good, Fair, or Poor — no guessing required

📅 EXTENDED FORECASTS (PRO)
• 7-day aurora forecast so you can plan your northern lights trip days ahead
• 14-day long-term Kp forecast trend — see geomagnetic storm predictions two weeks out
• Location-specific probability for your exact coordinates

🔔 AURORA ALERTS & NOTIFICATIONS
• Push notifications when Kp index rises above your threshold
• Customizable alert settings — get notified for moderate (Kp 3+) or only strong (Kp 5+) activity
• Never miss a geomagnetic stor

📍 LOCATION-BASED
• GPS or manual location — search any city worldwide with autocomplete
• Perfect for aurora hunters whether you're home or traveling to Iceland, Norway, Finland, Alaska, or Canada
• All forecasts personalized to your exact latitude and longitude

🎥 WATCH TO UNLOCK
• Watch a short video to unlock premium features for 24 hours — try before you buy
• Upgrade to Pro for permanent access to extended forecasts and long-term predictions

PERFECT FOR:
• Aurora hunters planning northern lights trips
• Astronomy enthusiasts and space weather followers
• Photographers chasing the aurora borealis
• Travelers visiting Iceland, Lapland, Norway, Alaska, Canada, Scotland
• Anyone who wants to see the northern lights and needs accurate forecasts

POWERED BY SCIENCE:
AuroraWatch Pro doesn't just show you the Kp index — it runs a scientific aurora probability algorithm that combines solar wind measurements from the ACE and DSCOVR satellites, NOAA planetary K-index data, geomagnetic activity forecasts, and your local weather conditions into a single, easy-to-read aurora probability percentage.
