Aurora Alert Realtime alerts when auroras are visible in Rovaniemi, Finland. This is the only aurora service which uses own sensors, making the service accuracy, informative and reliable. Every evening you will get aurora- and weather forecasts for coming night.

In case of alert, you will get SMS alert message and the Aurora map to your email which shows the direction where auroras has been detected. Normally, auroras are visible from 15 to 60 minutes, when circumstances are favorable. When circumstances are in borderline, auroras may be visible only few minutes.

During same evening and night, auroras intensity can change from weak to strong which lights up the whole sky. The alert messages contains aurora intensity information, offering you the chance to see the best auroras.

Making reliable prediction when you can see auroras is very difficult. Solar wind which cause auroras, can travel from the sun to Earth in day or two (speed of solar wind can vary from 300 – 1000 km/s). This means that all predictions contain inaccuracy several hours, sometimes even 10 to 20 hours. Furthermore cloud situation affect to possibility to see auroras. Aurora Alert Realtime service sends alert, indicates direction and tells the intensity of auroras when they are visible.

AURORA AND WEATHER FORECAST FOR 30.-31.3.2018

Tonight probability that aurora borealises appear is about 40%. According the weather forecasts it is expected to be partly cloudy during night, lowering chance to see auroras. Overall chance of seeing aurora borealis is 35%.
Please, note that this is a forecast which means that aurora and weather conditions may deviate from the forecast.

During season 2017-2018 best period to see auroras was springtime.

Last autumn was exceptionally cloudy which prevented us to see auroras more often. A lot of snow fell in winter but there were several opportunities to see auroras. In springtime the sky was clear allowing us to see auroras many times.

We are approaching the time period called Solar Minimum. The Sun repeats solar activity periods every 11 years from Solar Maximum to Solar Minimum. Last Solar Maximum was 2014 when we had often chance to see great auroras. In Solar minimum period sunspots fade away and we have fewer opportunities to see auroras. Current estimation is that Solar Minimum will be reached 2020. Solar Maximums and Minimums in Wikipedia.
