I understand that we are at a peak of aurora activity, so I'd like to see a forecast like one would see at a weather website, and for the entire globe.
What's a good website for aurora forecasts?

Try spaceweather.com (https://spaceweather.com ) . It informs about all solar activity events & spaceweather, including auroras of course. Also, you could subscribe for live notifications for auroras & solar magnetic storms.
Also there's spaceweatherlive.com (https://spaceweatherlive.com ) .
Finally, there's a thread here on PF: Solar Activity and Space Weather Update thread (e.g. latest post: https://www.physicsforums.com/threa...ace-weather-update-thread.923468/post-6881973 )
Also there's spaceweatherlive.com (https://spaceweatherlive.com ) .

"HERE COMES ANOTHER CME: An approaching CME is peppering Earth's atmosphere with energetic particles, causing an S1-class solar radiation storm and a polar radio blackout. The CME itself will reach Earth on May 10th, bringing a chance of geomagnetic storms and auroras. [Possibly moderate (G2) to Strong (G3) geomagnetic storms ...]"
