Weather & Climate

Got tired of "Kp is high, go outside" advice that ignored cloud cover, so I built something that answers the real question: should I actually go outside right now?

  • 🌌 Plain-language verdict, indicating chances of Aurora Visibility
  • ☁️ Combines space weather and real cloud cover
  • 🗺️ Live heatmap of your surrounding region
  • 📍 Tap any spot on the map for a precise reading there
  • 🕐 Time slider up to 2 days out
  • ⚡ Substorm heads-up before a sudden burst
  • 🔍 Search any city or landmark
  • 📋 Personal log to track accuracy over time

Not a replacement for your national met office — just a faster way to combine the data I was tabbing between anyway. Still rough in places, feedback welcome. 🌲✨
