Where do people get their forecasts? I often use this one, but it's not very usable outside Norway. Great if you click into each forecast (click the image) and get more details. Like how it actually covers the sky in that location. So that I can use that to plan (doesn't matter if it's strong if it's in a direction I can't see it) https://site.uit.no/spaceweather/data-and-products/aurora/oslo/#nogo https://site.uit.no/spaceweather/data-and-products/aurora/os...
Used to use a NOAA page, but they changed it a while ago and don't find it as useful anymore. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-experimental https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-exper...
Some weather services also have a kp index, but I often feel those can't be trusted, and don't tell the whole story. And aurora is quite hit or miss, so need more updated data.
I have an app on my phone (AuroraNotifier) that chimes when there's hope. And then I use these others to plan a bit better. But some more interactive map akin to the uit.no one but where I can place myself around would be nice.
Edit: someone posted this below, looks nice, have some other kinds of data https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en.html https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en.html

- jimmygrapes 2y agoGenerally I wake up and assess which of my body parts are experiencing issues. Pressure differentials play havoc upon internal pockets. Other than that I go outside and feel the temperature and humidity and witness the general movement (or abcence of movement) of cloud formations. I smell the air. Surprisingly, these sensations are pretty close to accurate when it comes to predicting local weather. I am not sure how to do that for space weather yet.
