4Check the aurora odds before booking

A tour cannot make the aurora appear: it drives to clearer sky and knows the dark spots. The probability over the departure place below comes from the NOAA OVATION model, and the Alaska page has the Kp each place needs and the 3-day forecast.

Aurora probability over Fairbanks11 %
Kp now4.00
Kp needed1+ 65.7° N geomagnetic
Max Kp 24 h6.00 G2

Data: NOAA SWPC, fetched 12:31 UTC. Aurora probability by destination from the NOAA OVATION model, forecast for 9 Oct, 13:35 UTC. Aurora also needs a dark and clear sky. Kp needed: NOAA puts the edge of the auroral oval at about 66° geomagnetic latitude for Kp 0, 2° closer to the equator per Kp level. Geomagnetic latitude from the WMM2025 dipole pole (NOAA NCEI).
