Aurora in Hamarøy tonight
Once you are there: the chance hour by hour tonight and for the next seven nights, with the cloud cover.
To the night forecastHow it is worked out
The first nights use NOAA’s Kp forecast, then NOAA’s 27-day outlook, built on the sun turning every 27 days. Eruptions on the sun, which bring the biggest aurora nights, cannot be seen that far ahead.
«Good conditions» means the activity is well above what the place needs, also with the moon up; «possible» that it just reaches it. Clouds are not included four weeks ahead: on the night, they decide.
