Aurora Forecast
See current aurora visibility forecasts based on NOAA space weather data. Higher geomagnetic activity may increase the chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
🌌 Aurora Forecast
Live aurora forecast showing current auroral activity.
Kp Index
The Kp Index measures geomagnetic activity on Earth. Higher values indicate stronger geomagnetic disturbances and increased auroral activity.
🧲 Live Kp Index
Current geomagnetic activity based on live NOAA space weather data.
Solar Wind
Monitor real-time solar wind speed. Changes in solar wind can influence geomagnetic conditions and aurora visibility.
🌬️ Live Solar Wind
Real-time solar wind speed based on live NOAA space weather data.
Solar Flares
Track current solar flare activity and X-ray flux levels from the Sun. Strong solar flares can impact radio communications and space weather.

What Do These Numbers Mean?
- Kp 0-2 → Quiet conditions
- Kp 3-4 → Unsettled activity
- Kp 5+ → Geomagnetic storm
- Solar Wind 300-400 km/s → Normal
- Solar Wind 500+ km/s → Elevated
- M-Class & X-Class flares → Significant solar activity

Interested In Schumann Resonance?
Many people who follow solar activity and space weather are also interested in the Schumann Resonance – a set of natural electromagnetic frequencies generated between Earth’s surface and the ionosphere.
While solar activity and Schumann Resonance are often discussed together online, they are separate phenomena. Solar activity originates from the Sun, while the Schumann Resonance is a naturally occurring Earth-based phenomenon.
