Can I see the Northern Lights from my location?
1. Magnetic Latitude
Aurora visibility depends on your magnetic latitude, not just geographic latitude. Our app calculates this automatically for your exact position.
2. Light Pollution
To see the aurora, you need dark skies. Even if activity is high, city lights can wash out the view. Drive 15-30 minutes away from city centers.
3. Clear Skies
Clouds can block the aurora completely. Check current local cloud forecasts close to your viewing time.
