First of all, regardless of all the other indicators, you need to have a clear and starry sky, all the experts agree on this. Furthermore, it needs to be dark, because otherwise it is impossible to see the aurora, even if there is a strong magnetic storm underway.
How can we find out if it will be possible to see it then, even at latitudes where it is very rare?
The advice we can give is to follow all the updates from the website https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/com or the US National Oceanic and Atmosperic Administration which, from today, given the extraordinary scope of the ongoing event and from The interest that the event itself has sparked throughout the world has developed a 30-minute forecast model to understand where the auroras will be and with what intensity they will appear.
At the moment they have already issued several “alerts” to warn that the ongoing magnetic storm is very intense and that the probability of admiring the auroras as happened two nights ago is more than probable, but the truth is that several concomitant factors are needed and no one can say with certainty whether there will be the possibility of admiring this phenomenon. We’ll have to stay awake tonight with our faces turned to the sky.
