noaa_spaceweather_get_alertsActive SWPC alerts, watches, and warnings — parsed into structured records with product type, NOAA scale and level, issue time, serial number, validity window, and plain text. Covers geomagnetic storms, radio blackouts, and radiation storms. With active_only=false, also returns informational summaries, expired notices, and cancellations. max_age_hours controls how far back to look for candidates (default 48 h) — under active_only=true it does not cut off a product whose validity end is still in the future, and under active_only=false it is a literal age cutoff. The SWPC feed keeps all historical records and has no built-in expiry.Active SWPC alerts, watches, and warnings — parsed into structured records with product type, NOAA scale and level, issue time, serial number, validity window, and plain text.

With optional coordinates, returns the local aurora probability at the nearest grid point, the geomagnetic latitude those coordinates convert to, the minimum Kp and G level needed for aurora at that geomagnetic latitude, the sun’s elevation there at the forecast time (aurora is not visible in daylight), the strongest aurora within 1000 km poleward (visible low on the horizon when bright), and a plain-language go/no-go verdict.
