I understand that we are at a peak of aurora activity, so I'd like to see a forecast like one would see at a weather website, and for the entire globe.
High School What's a good website for aurora forecasts?

SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on reliable websites for aurora forecasts, particularly during peak aurora activity. Key recommendations include spaceweather.com for comprehensive solar activity updates and live notifications, and spaceweatherlive.com for real-time information. Additionally, users are directed to a specific NOAA aurora forecast image, which provides a visual representation of aurora predictions for the Northern Hemisphere. The discussion also highlights the impact of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on geomagnetic storms and auroras.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of solar activity and its effects on Earth's atmosphere
- Familiarity with aurora phenomena and geomagnetic storms
- Basic knowledge of how to navigate weather-related websites
- Awareness of the significance of coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
- Explore spaceweather.com for detailed solar activity reports
- Research the implications of CMEs on auroras and space weather
- Learn how to interpret NOAA aurora forecasts and related imagery
- Follow the Solar Activity and Space Weather Update thread for ongoing discussions and updates
Aurora enthusiasts, meteorologists, space weather researchers, and anyone interested in tracking solar activity and its effects on Earth.

Try spaceweather.com (https://spaceweather.com ) . It informs about all solar activity events & spaceweather, including auroras of course. Also, you could subscribe for live notifications for auroras & solar magnetic storms.
Also there's spaceweatherlive.com (https://spaceweatherlive.com ) .
Finally, there's a thread here on PF: Solar Activity and Space Weather Update thread (e.g. latest post: https://www.physicsforums.com/threa...ace-weather-update-thread.923468/post-6881973 )

"HERE COMES ANOTHER CME: An approaching CME is peppering Earth's atmosphere with energetic particles, causing an S1-class solar radiation storm and a polar radio blackout. The CME itself will reach Earth on May 10th, bringing a chance of geomagnetic storms and auroras. [Possibly moderate (G2) to Strong (G3) geomagnetic storms ...]"
