Aurora Forecast: Elevated Activity and Viewing Tips for High and Mid Latitudes
The aurora forecast for tonight and the coming days suggests moderately elevated activity, particularly for higher latitudes such as northern Canada, Alaska, and Scandinavia, where geomagnetic conditions and a predicted Kp index of 4 to 5 may produce active auroras. These locations are expected to experience bright displays, with clear skies significantly enhancing visibility. For mid-latitude regions, such as the northern United States and parts of Europe, aurora visibility might be limited to faint activity closer to the northern horizon, but stronger geomagnetic fluctuations later in the evening could improve the chances of witnessing the phenomenon.Geomagnetic activity predictions indicate that November 28 will feature "active" aurora conditions at high latitudes, while mid-latitude areas could see isolated minor auroral substorms. On November 29, activity is expected to rise further, with a "major storm" possible and favorable conditions for vivid displays. By November 30, the activity is projected to decrease but remains strong enough for some auroral events.
For the best viewing experience, seek dark, open areas far from light pollution, preferably with a clear northern horizon. Regularly check real-time updates on auroral activity through platforms like NOAA’s Aurora Dashboard or dedicated resources such as Aurora Notifier, which provide up-to-date Kp index changes and viewing maps to help you anticipate the most vibrant periods.
