Aurora UK 21.0.1

It is important to note that due to the application's high demand and the limitations imposed by Google on the number of free notifications, users may not receive alerts even if they have opted in for them.

The aurora borealis, commonly known as the northern lights, is a mesmerizing natural phenomenon that can occasionally grace the night sky over Britain. Its beauty leaves a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to witness it. The AuroraWatch UK app provides a means to monitor geomagnetic activity in real time, enabling users to ascertain when auroras may be visible from the UK. Push notifications serve to alert users about potential auroral displays.

This Android application is a product of collaboration with the original AuroraWatch UK application available on iPhone. More information can be found at this link.

Offered free of charge by Lancaster University, AuroraWatch UK serves to indicate the likelihood of observing auroras within the UK. The Android version of the AuroraWatch UK app brings this valuable data directly to your mobile device, complete with notifications similar to those available on the iPhone.
