About Aurora Hound

An independent local companion for northern-lights planning.

Our purpose

Aurora Hound combines NOAA space-weather information with local weather forecasts and calculated darkness to help people around Anchorage decide when and where to look. We offer planning guidance, not an official forecast or a guarantee.

Independent by design

We are not affiliated with NOAA, MET Norway, UAF or Alaska State Parks. We link to authoritative sources and explain our own interpretation. You do not need an account or a download to use the forecast.

Built on trust

We do not invent live observations, probabilities or missing forecasts. Location access must be checked with the relevant operator before travel.
