Full description

Where might you see the northern lights tonight? Aurora Explorer helps you compare conditions at locations across Northern Norway. View Aurora Score alongside cloud cover and daylight conditions, and explore how conditions may change over the next hours. Find viewing spots on a map or in a list, search for places, and open directions to a selected location. Follow places you care about for alerts, and see which places recorded the best conditions in the past 24 hours. The app also offers tips for aurora watching and photography. Some screens include ads and links to local experiences. We may earn a commission if you book through a partner link; the booking takes place on the partner's website. Aurora sightings are never guaranteed. Forecasts and Aurora Score are estimates affected by clouds, darkness and auroral activity. Check local conditions and plan your trip safely.

What's new

Important fix: Good aurora viewing conditions now take priority over a later improvement in cloud cover. The advice card is clearer and more concise. The best weather window remains available in the forecast.
