Real time solar wind dials / ACE
Real time solar wind dials from ACE spacecraft data.
When the hand points to red the conditions are favourable for mid latitude aurora.
3 hour Kp index
The current Kp-index. A red bar indicates extremely high auroral activity and values over 6 make aurora sightings from middle to low latitudes possible.

Current Geo-Magnetic Storm Level Based on ACE Real Time Solar Wind Data.
Dst values are extrapolated using most recent solar wind and magnetic field data when data gaps are present.
Low: Dst > -20 nT      Medium: -20 nT > Dst > -50 nT
High: -50 nT > Dst > -100 nT      Extreme: Dst < -100 nT

Auroral oval model
This plot shows the current extent and position of the auroral oval in the northern hemisphere, extrapolated from measurements taken during the most recent polar pass of the NOAA POES satellite.
The red arrow in the plot, that looks like a clock hand, points toward the noon meridian.
