Overview

Built to be useful from the first minute.

Aurora forecasting normally means comparing a pile of separate charts. AOTEAURORA does that stitching for you: it combines live data from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, GeoNet, and Open-Meteo into one score for your location, the best hour tonight, and a plain-English explanation of what is driving the forecast.

The app follows the aurora’s whole journey—from the Sun and the WSA-Enlil solar-wind model, to what is detected 1.5 million kilometres upstream of Earth, to substorm activity in our atmosphere and the local cloud, moon, and darkness that decide what you can actually see.

AOTEAURORA was built with RotemNZ and is the first Aotearoa Labs app published on Google Play. It has no account, advertising, or analytics and is available in English, Hebrew, Spanish, German, and Chinese.
