ABOUT THE LOCATION

Aurora in Apatity

Apatity sits at 67.6°N, close to the high-latitude auroral zone. Geography is favorable during the dark season, while long summer daylight can reduce Viewing Score to zero even when geomagnetic activity is present.

Around Apatity, high northern latitude can support frequent auroral activity, while darkness, cloud cover and the exact position of the auroral oval determine whether it is visible from the ground.

All times on this page use the local Europe/Moscow time zone. The forecast combines current auroral activity, predicted Kp, darkness, Moon conditions and local weather to estimate practical viewing conditions near Apatity.

FAQ — Apatity

How is Viewing Score calculated for Apatity?

Viewing Score is a local 0–100 estimate rather than an official NOAA probability. The current score starts from the aurora chance for Apatity; 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.
