About Aurora Viewing in Beaumont

Find a dark, open northern horizon and check the sky before travelling.

Follow forecasts, cloud maps and aurora alerts for Beaumont in Aurora Hunt, then confirm darkness, local cloud and access before going outside.

Your view of the sky

Beaumont is southeast of Edmonton, so the metro light dome affects much of the northern view where a weak aurora first appears. Low cloud amplifies that glow and makes faint structure harder to distinguish.

Before you head out

Recheck conditions shortly before going out, stay on legal public access and avoid roadside stopping. Alberta 511 is the official source for current highway conditions.

Tonight’s viewing checklist
  • Compare the Kp trend with the approximate local threshold near Kp 3–5.
  • Look for low or falling cloud; the current reading is 2%.
  • Reduce direct light in your field of view and keep the northern horizon unobstructed.
  • Use a brief camera exposure only as a visibility aid, not proof of a strong naked-eye display.
