Strong aurora activity and clear skies. Good conditions for observing the Northern Lights.
Arkhangelsk sits at 64.5°N, close to the typical northern auroral zone. The oval position matters here, but darkness and cloud cover can influence real-world visibility as much as the Kp index itself.
Around Arkhangelsk, 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 Arkhangelsk.
Viewing Score is a local 0–100 estimate rather than an official NOAA probability. The current score starts from the aurora chance for Arkhangelsk; 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.
