I don’t have live access to the latest NOAA aurora forecasts right now. Here’s how you can quickly check the most current information:
- NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) Aurora 30-Minute Forecast: real-time location and intensity updates for auroras, with short lead times. This is the authoritative source for current auroral activity.[3]
- OVATION model-based forecasts and the 30-minute forecast pages from SWPC provide near-term predictions and viewing probabilities.[3]
- SpaceWeatherLive and other aggregators offer easy-to-read, short-term aurora forecasts and viewing probabilities, often summarized for high- and mid-latitudes over the next 24–72 hours.[5]
- NASA and other science outlets sometimes highlight notable geomagnetic conditions and expected displays when solar activity is high.[4]
If you’d like, I can assemble a concise, up-to-date summary for your location (Amsterdam, NL) using these sources and include the current Kp index, predicted viewing windows, and best local times. I can also provide a quick map-based forecast and a short alert checklist for cloud-free viewing. Just say the word.

auroraforecast.com(Grades K-12) A map of Earth showing aurora forecasts, updated every 30 minutes, with description and links to additional information.
science.nasa.govThis is a short-term forecast of the location and intensity of the aurora. This product is based on the OVATION model and provides a 30 to 90 minute forecast of the location and intensity of the aurora. The forecast lead time is the time it takes for the solar wind to travel from the L1 observation point to Earth. … An estimate of aurora viewing probability can be derived by assuming a linear relationship to the intensity of the aurora. This relationship was validated by comparison with data...
