How this service works
Aurora Forecast for a Location (NOAA SWPC). Aurora (northern/southern lights) chance at any location from NOAA OVATION, current Kp index, 3-day Kp forecast and whether a geomagnetic storm is expected.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing: aurora_probability_pct (0-100 numeric chance of aurora visibility), visibility (human-readable string describing viewing conditions), kp_forecast_max_3day (maximum expected Kp index over the next 3 days, or null if unavailable), and implicitly the current Kp index and geomagnetic storm expectation derived from NOAA SWPC OVATION data.
Example use cases
Aurora chasing trip planning
“I'm heading to Tromsø, Norway next week — what's the current aurora probability at latitude 69.65, longitude 18.96, and what does the 3-day Kp forecast look like?”
Real-time aurora alert for astrophotographer
“I'm set up for astrophotography outside Reykjavik at lat 64.13, lon -21.82 — check the aurora forecast right now and tell me the Kp index so I know if it's worth waiting outside.”
Southern lights visibility check
“What's the aurora australis probability tonight at latitude -45.03, longitude 168.66 in Queenstown, New Zealand, and is there a geomagnetic storm coming?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/aurora/forecast?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, location-specific aurora visibility probability derived from the authoritative NOAA SWPC OVATION model. Ideal for any agent feature involving sky-watching, travel planning to high-latitude destinations, astrophotography scheduling, or space weather monitoring. Prefer this over generic weather APIs that lack aurora/geomagnetic storm data, and over raw NOAA APIs when you want a clean, pre-processed JSON response with probability percentage and visibility label.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid lat/lon parameters may return an error or default response
- NOAA SWPC data outages may cause stale or null forecast values
- Extreme latitudes or polar regions may have unusual probability values
- kp_forecast_max_3day may be null if 3-day forecast data is temporarily unavailable
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC micropayment is not properly handled
