One plan for tonight

Little Aurora reads the aurora forecast, the cloud from three weather models and the darkness for your destination, and turns them into one answer: worth heading out, wait for a clearer sky, or stay cosy. Then it tells you when the window opens, where to go and when to leave.

• Tonight, in a glanceThe verdict, the best window and how sure the forecast is, with the reasons in plain words.
• Where to goA recommended viewing spot with travel time, access and what makes it good tonight.
• The nights aheadThe next three nights, and the season's typical odds for every night of your trip.
• Go alertsA nudge when your window is about to open, even in the middle of the night.
• Live Activity and Apple WatchWhen to leave and how long the window lasts, on your Lock Screen and your wrist.
• A guide for the nightWhat to wear, how to spot faint aurora and how to photograph it on your phone. It works offline.
