FAQ — Burnie
How is Viewing Score calculated for Burnie?
Viewing Score is a local 0–100 estimate rather than an official NOAA probability. The current score starts from the aurora chance for Burnie; future hours adjust auroral activity using the predicted Kp.
Darkness, cloud cover and Moon illumination then modify the result. Cloud cover only affects the score when the “Include clouds in score” switch is enabled. Daylight can reduce the score to zero, while a bright Moon above the horizon applies a smaller penalty.
