Aurora Borealis Forecast and local Weather
The aurora forecast is really not so important as many think. Here at the Aurora Borealis Observatory we care more about weather forecast. The aurora forecast is basically just a prediction and you alway need a clear sky to see the aurora borealis. We are located on one of the best locations in the north when it comes to clear skies and therefore we care mostly about weather. If the weather is good and we have clear skies then we normally see the aurora 9 out of 10 days. Read More

A clear sky is all we need
Can I use the Kp for aurora chasing or forecasting?
The short answer is NO. Despite popular belief, the Kp index is not a good source for aurora forecasting and nowcasting. There are several reasons why. Sometimes the different services will provide a Kp forecast for the next hour, 3 days or sometimes month! We cannot stress enough that these forecasts cannot be trusted with certitude
Watch Aurora from the apartments
The aurora forecast is really not the most important. The most important is weather forecast and a clear sky. All our apartments have big windows so you can easily wait inside and simply go out when the aurora borealis appears.
Enjoy the Aurora Outside
The aurora borealis can sometimes be visible for many hours. Sometimes it is different and the aurora disappear and you have to wait again. No aurora forecast can tell how the evening will be. Therefore we make sure that all guests get alerts when the aurora dance again.
Outdoor Hot Tubs
Sometimes the aurora forecast and weather forecast simply just play along and puts on a good and long show. Then it is perfect to go into the hot tubs for an amazing aurora borealis experience. This is always possible here at the Aurora Borealis Observatory.
