Northern Lights above Trondheim

For those of you with a smart phone (iPhone, Android, Windows phone), there is a new aurora forecast app:

Although the page is in Norwegian, you can find the download menu at the bottom of the page on the right hand side. The iPhone app can also be found at the Apple App Store. I have not tried this app myself, relying on stone age technology (Sony Ericsson W810i:shock, but a friend of mine is very impressed with the aurora app on his iPhone4.

I have mostly used the Fairbanks Alaska forecast linked by Gwyn in the previous post.

I've sent my husband the link for his tablet.
You never know we may make it back to Norway sometime. I certainly hope so.

It seems that the app didnt cover the UK, it covers observatory in norway on north america but not in the UK

I do not have a smart phone, so I have direct experience with this app. But I believe this website broadcasts the same forecast system as the mobile phone app:

And when watching the diagrams on this website, many locales on the planet are covered: Scandinavia, China, Alaska, etc. The UK is also covered on this website. The most important thing with this app is that it is updated every 15 minutes and that it shows the intensity of the Northern Lights. In other words, if the forecast predicts aurora level 9 it will be visible in as far south as Spain

Awe inspiring pics. I think I would be moved to tears if I saw that.
