Veðurstofa Íslands, the Icelandic Met Office, publishes the northern lights and aurora forecast for Iceland. It combines geomagnetic activity, measured by the Kp index on a scale of 0 to 9, with expected cloud cover, which determines what you can actually see.
Ask it in Claude: add the Sóley connector and ask 'Will I see the northern lights tonight near Reykjavík?'
