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.

This page provides a prediction of the aurora’s visibility tonight and tomorrow night in the charts below. The animations further down show what the aurora’s been up to over the last 24 hours and estimates what the next 30 minutes will be like.
The aurora does not need to be directly overhead but can be observed from as much as a 1000 km away when the aurora is bright and if conditions are right. A short term forecast (~30 minutes) along with the last 24 hours of activity can be found on the Aurora - 30 Minute Forecast page.
This is the fastest way to quickly find out what kind of geomagnetic conditions are to be expected over the next 3 days. The predictions are updated daily by the NOAA SWPC and do not necessarily reflect the predictions made by the SpaceWeatherLive team. Times are in UTC.

Aug 22, 2022 · Short Term Aurora Forecast. Using measurements of the solar wind just upstream of Earth, the Aurora 30-minute Forecast provides the likelihood of aurora overhead for the next 30 minutes. This animation also shows last 24 hours of estimated auroral activity.
The timeline provides a quick look at the alerts, watches, and warnings that are currently in effect from NOAA. Only the bottom half of the chart is important when it comes to seeing the aurora. The dashed red vertical line represents the current time. A solid green bar represents a watch, when NOAA is predicting a geomagnetic storm to occur. A ...

Where do the Aurora equator extend?
When space weather activity increases and more frequent and larger storms and substorms occur, the aurora extends equatorward. During large events, the aurora can be observed as far south as the US, Europe, and Asia. During very large events, the aurora can be observed even farther from the poles.
