Aurora in Hamburg
Hamburg sits at 53.6°N and is a lower-latitude aurora location. Visible events are more dependent on strong geomagnetic disturbances, expansion of the auroral oval and a clear dark sky.
Around Hamburg, aurora sightings usually depend on stronger geomagnetic storms and a southward expansion of the auroral oval. A dark site with a clear northern horizon is especially important in Germany.
All times on this page use the local Europe/Berlin time zone. The forecast combines current auroral activity, predicted Kp, darkness, Moon conditions and local weather to estimate practical viewing conditions near Hamburg.

FAQ — Hamburg
How is Viewing Score calculated for Hamburg?
Viewing Score is a local 0–100 estimate rather than an official NOAA probability. The current score starts from the aurora chance for Hamburg; 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.
