Predicting Aurora i think most Aurora Hunters know how to do and what it involves... there are plenty of tools on the web to predict.
What we need is an aurora oval overlay on a map, no matter the clouds. So we know more exactly where to go. This is an essential tool for Aurora spotting in northern Europe since the Aurora oval is not consistent and changes quite drastically dependent on the weather conditions in space, earth's magnetic field and the intensity overall. In northern Europe it is quite closely monitored in the northern countries.
Seeing the Aurora oval is most likely the most significant and essential tool in forecasting the Northern Lights. NOAA has provided data for years but has proven the last couple of years to be more and more un reliable and faulty by as much as two days + -.

Suggestion: Clear Sky Alert
Just another suggestion... was kind of hoping to find a clear sky alert notification in the alert section of the mobile app but could not find such function so I am suggesting it here.
Can be very useful for Photographers as well as private Airplane operators, Drone pilots, hot air š and so on and on.

RE: Suggestion: add LightPollutionMap to Windy
@skiterskiterio what a great idea! And maybe combining it with Northern Lights / Aurora borealis oval overlay?

Suggestion: Wordpress plugin.
Since this is a suggestion I am posting it in the feedback and suggestion section instead of that plugging section.
Simply if somebody has the time and energy to write a WordPress plugin to show the map and the different layers. would make it so much easier to embed for the novice users.

Suggestion: Northern Lights overlay
A little suggestion, there are Aurora ovals overlays available in different Aurora prediction applications for mobile devices.
It would be really cool and useful to introduce this overlay into the app. Since Aurora spotting is always related to the weather. Very handy to have both cloud cover and Aurora oval in the same app.
