### Aurora Expertise
Peak Northern Lights activity occurs around the equinoxes (late September and late March) due to the Russell-McPherron effect. The forecast at williseeaurora.com analyzes:
- **KP Index**: Global geomagnetic activity indicator (0–9 scale)
- **Bz Component**: Southward magnetic field orientation increases aurora probability
- **Solar Wind Speed**: Higher speeds drive stronger geomagnetic storms
- **Cloud Cover**: Local weather conditions affecting visibility
- **Moonlight**: Lunar phase impact on viewing conditions
