Northern Lights Forecast

nlf — Norther Lights Forecast 🔗 sends alerts to the telegram bot @NorthernLightsForecastBot whenever there are good chances of seeing northern lights near Tromsø. The program itself can actually check the conditions in a number of places (see the full list by running nlf --locations), but the instance I have running on a raspberry pi that updates telegram is looking only at Tromsø. Install and run your own version by cloning and installing with poetry:

git clone https://github.com/engeir/northern-lights-forecast.git
poetry install
# Install tesseract and create a telegram bot, then run
nlf -l Tromsø
