Aurora Monitor

Simple application with all data that any aurora watcher (hunter) needs.

If you want to see aurora borealis / aurora australis / northern lights / southern lights, this application is ideal for you.

It provides you with realistic and accurate data about aurora activity.

This is one of the first and best applications for aurora hunters. It often introduces new features, which other similar applications then include.

It provides all the data that you need to catch such an awesome view (except cloud coverage) in numbers – higher numbers means better chances.

Aurora is a common word for a natural phenomenon (polar lights), which is seen at high latitudes on northern hemisphere (aurora borealis, northern lights), or on southern hemisphere (aurora australis, southern lights).

In the app you see:

- Current value and forecast of hemispheric power data for both hemispheres for the next hour

- Current probability to see aurora at your location in percentage

- Current global Kp value

- Forecast for Kp value for next 3 days (in 3-hour periods), and next 27 days (daily).

- Image of northern and southern hemisphere, which show areas where northern and southern lights are currently visible.

Notifications / alerts inform you about current aurora activity and its forecast. You can turn on/off notifications in application settings.

In settings, you can also select the hemisphere for which data is shown (northern hemisphere for aurora borealis / northern light, southern hemisphere for aurora australis / southern lights, or select to watch it both) or switch between light design (used during sunlight) or dark design (better option for using it during the night).

NOTE: This application requests your approximate location to provide better service to you, such as the current probability to see aurora overhead, more satisfied notifications, etc.

However, if you do not want to allow access to your location, please install Aurora Monitor NoLocation app, which is also available in the store. Aurora Monitor NoLocation app is the same app as this one, the only difference is that it does not use your location.
