What the numbers show
What Aurora Now does
Aurora Now - Northern Lights is a weather app for people who want to follow aurora activity rather than ordinary local forecasts. It turns solar and geomagnetic information into a practical view of when the Northern Lights may be visible. That makes it a useful fit for aurora watchers, travelers in high-latitude regions, and photographers planning night shoots.
Forecasts and alerts
The app provides location-based aurora forecasts to help users judge the likely timing and strength of activity. Alerts can be linked to solar wind readings, including Bt, Bz, and solar wind speed. These settings give experienced users more control over notifications, while the forecast offers a simpler starting point for anyone learning what conditions to watch.
Solar data in context
Aurora Now also presents live solar information and imagery, connecting activity on the Sun with possible auroral conditions on Earth. Color-coded graphs make changes in the data easier to scan, whether you are checking current conditions or looking for patterns over time. The result is a focused dashboard built around one question: is it worth going outside to look?
Who it suits
This is not a general-purpose weather service. Its value comes from concentrating on aurora prediction and the measurements behind it. Beginners can use the location forecast, while regular aurora hunters may appreciate the additional solar wind detail and configurable alerts. With a 4.41 rating from 1,403 ratings and 100,000+ installs, it has found a substantial audience for this narrow use case. The app is developed by VNIL AB.
