One caveat is, that these events cannot be forecasted in the same way as weather on earth can. You usually only have a lead time of 15 - 45 minutes. See also https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/content/aurora-tutorial

Sure. But if I am awake, those 15 minutes are enough to get dressed and go outside.

Yesterday I just would have had to walk to the balkony to see it, but I was busy with some frustrating coding problem instead ..
