Our colleagues at the University of Alberta provide a realtime monitor of geomagnetic activity in the Edmonton area and offer a free email alert service to let you know if there may be aurora visible tonight.

Saskatoon and Edmonton are located at about the same magnetic latitude, so when aurora is likely at Edmonton, it is also likely at Saskatoon. To subscribe to the Aurora Watch email alert service, simply register with Aurora Watch.

If you are in Saskatchewan and have any questions about Aurora Watch and the alerts, you can email webmaster@aurora.usask.ca or contact Aurora Watch through their website.
