Aurora Expectations - 30 Day Forecast

Subheadline: Enhanced Aurora Alerts Based on Global Data

The 30-day aurora forecast for Sweden has been created based on calculations from the Swedish Space Weather Center (SSWC) at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics. The SSWC uses data from several satellites and ground-based instruments to monitor and predict changes in the solar wind and magnetosphere, which can cause auroras to appear.

The forecast is divided into five levels of intensity, from 0 to 9, with 0 being the weakest and 9 being the strongest. The intensity of the aurora is determined by a number of factors, including the strength of the solar wind, the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field, and the time of day.

The aurora is most commonly visible in the northern and southern polar regions, but it can sometimes be seen at lower latitudes during periods of high solar activity. The best time to see the aurora is typically around midnight, when the sky is darkest.
