About Aurora Canada Live
Aurora Canada Live was created with one mission:
to make northern lights forecasting in Canada simple, accurate, and easy to understand for everyone.
Whether you’re a first-time sky watcher or a seasoned aurora chaser, our goal is to give you the tools, data, and alerts you need to experience the magic of the aurora borealis—without the confusion.
🌌 Why This Website Exists

We built this platform to turn all that complexity into clear forecasts, region-specific insights, and practical guidance tailored for Canada.
This site helps you:
- Learn how and when to spot the northern lights
- Track real-time KP and geomagnetic conditions
- See region-specific forecasts across Canada
- Understand solar activity in simple terms
- Get alert options when aurora activity increases
📡 Where Our Data Comes From
Finding the aurora can be difficult. Forecast information is often scattered across scientific dashboards, NASA data streams, and specialized geomagnetic charts. We built this platform to turn all that complexity into clear forecasts, region-specific insights, and practical guidance tailored for Canada.
To ensure reliability, our forecasts pull from trusted scientific sources such as:
- NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center
- The Aurora.live global aurora network
- Solar wind / Bz real-time satellite data
- Cloud and visibility information from weather agencies
All data is processed and displayed in a format designed for the everyday Canadian viewer.
Built for All of Canada
The aurora is not just a northern experience. Under strong solar activity, the lights can be seen across the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, and even further south. That’s why we offer regional forecast pages with easy-to-read KP levels, visibility probability, and cloud cover indicators.
🧭Our Goal
To become Canada’s most reliable and user-friendly aurora resource by providing:
- Accurate forecasts
- Clear explanations
- Beautiful visuals
- Helpful guides for planning and photography
- Fast alerts during major aurora events
We want to help more Canadians witness the northern lights with confidence and excitement—not guesswork.
