          I think Windy needs Aurora forcast map. Even it wouldn't reach the most of people on Earth it would be very interesting little add for those who lives near places to see those incredible lights.

            I see a direct competitor using NOAA data for displaying auroras.

              @TommiR, I completely agree with your observation. Living in the UK, I have also noticed the increasing frequency of Aurora Borealis sightings. It would be incredibly beneficial if Windy could incorporate an overlay feature to visualize and comprehend the timing, location, and intensity of this phenomenon.

                @TommiR hopefully the more the community asks, the more likely Windy devs will deliver.

                  Could you possibly do a northern hemisphere in Aurora Borealis is it already in the app I could you possibly add space weather telling us whether or not we're going to get X flares or geomagnetic storms or magnetic fields radiation enhancement tells us whether or not we're going to get a radiation storm

                    Why only Northern Hemisphere? There is another one...

                        hello
                        there is some very good apps for northenlight (aurora compas for example)
                        but having a new map on windy with northenlights mix with cloudiness will be great !!

                        many thanks.

                          Dear Sir/Madam,

                          Good day,

                          I am a premium user of your app, and i am extremely happy to say how good this program/app is very useful for us to see weather forcast through so much layers and satellite.

                          I am making request if possible can you add Northern light/Borealis or Aurora map as well. This will helps us to look weather and as well as some entertainment in same app.

                          I hope you will do needful.

                          Thank you

                          Anil.singh

                              Hi there, apologies if you have been asked this before, but is there any chance you could include a weather view that gives an indication of the intensity of the Northern Lights for a given region?

                              Regards, Lee

                                Hi, thanks so much for your interest! We don’t currently offer forecasts of values related to aurora visibility (such as the Kp index) in the app. However, since we’re excited about the idea ourselves, we’ll be happy to add an aurora forecast feature as soon as possible. Thanks for the suggestion!
                                Have a great day,
                                Jari

                                      Hello! I would like to recommend adding a solar flare/Northern lights/Aurora Borealis option to this weather map app. Please and thank you

                                          I have seen a GREarth placefile that outlines a map of probability of viewing the aurora. This seems like something that would fit in well with the Windy dataset.

                                          Thanks for your consideration!
