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.
B What's a good website for aurora forecasts?

For aurora forecasts, spaceweather.com and spaceweatherlive.com are recommended as reliable sources that provide comprehensive information on solar activity and auroras. Users can subscribe for live notifications regarding auroras and solar magnetic storms. A specific NOAA page offers a detailed aurora forecast for the Northern Hemisphere. Current solar activity includes an approaching coronal mass ejection (CME) expected to cause geomagnetic storms and enhance aurora visibility. These resources are valuable for anyone interested in tracking aurora activity globally.

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 ...]"
