When it is partly cloudy (light green areas) you still have a chance seeing the lights by finding a gap in the clouds. The green areas (Aurora Oval) mark the regions in which you have a good chance of observing the northern lights in the next half hour. The reason why we want to have the areas without clouds (or light clouds) is because it is impossible to see the lights when the sky is covered with clouds. The light green means partly cloudy and dark green means very cloudy so a low chance for sightings as the visibility is low.īasically if you can see the stars, then you have a chance of seeing the lights. This is ideal as you need to have a clear sky to see the Northern Lights. you have a chance to see the aurora if the weather and light conditions are optimal. The best viewing will between 10 PM and 1 AM tonight. We have northern lights (aurora) forecast live and ahead in time. Temperatures will be falling into the 50s. The white colour in the forecast means no clouds, so clear sky. Weather conditions will be ideal with clear skies overnight. Stargazers have had their eyes on the skies since Sunday hoping to spot the natural dancing lights. Strong geomagnetic storms were reported by the US this week, leading to a greater chance of auroral activity in the northern hemisphere. On the map you can see areas of white, light green and dark green. The Northern Lights could be seen from Donegal tonight as a strong solar storm hits the Earth. The white areas are where you need to head for. It’s a little confusing as the green colour is very similar to the colour of the actual Northern Lights but in fact the map shows green as cloud coverage and white as clear skies. But remember that even though the KP index shows moderate to high activity, there is no insurance that you will be able to see the lights since the northern lights. The map is updated daily and gives you an indication of Northern Lights viewing. The forecast states: ' The Aurora may be visible across Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and perhaps parts of the Midlands, Norfolk and North Wales with the naked-eye at first where skies are clear.' But those south could also have a chance of spotting the dazzling green, pink, red, yellow, blue and purple lights dancing. The scale ranges from 0 to 9 where a value of 0 means that there is very little geomagnetic activity and a value of 9 means there is an extreme geomagnetic storm.
