Norway Lights
Norway Lights is a website with a northern lights forecast as well as an app with an overview of places known as main “northern light cities” in Norway. It has a user-friendly interface that is designed to help you decide when and where to go aurora chasing, as well as how to get there.
The app provides a three-day northern lights forecast with an hourly forecast for the current day. It gives recommendations to go, try or wait for the northern lights in a specific city, based on weather forecast and solar wind activity.
Useful information such as facts about the northern lights, a map indicating your position in relation to other Norwegian cities, photo tips, and other tips & tricks are also included in the app in addition to handy short-cuts to flight and tour options.

The grown-ups can discover new adventures both before hitting the road and during the trip. And the best part? You can plan it all directly in the app. It's easy to transfer your tailor-made journey to your preferred map service and have directions along the way.
Stay safe: never use a device while driving. If you're using an iPad or a tablet, make sure it's secured properly when the car is in motion!
