Temperature is such a good thing to bring up, it can be freezing cold and without the right clothes/preparations you won't be standing outside very long, would be unfortunate to miss the high activity because of bad clothes when traveling potentially very far to see it. Love the content!
This solidifies the scattered pieces of information I've found online and also chatting to Perplexity. Considering the 11-year solar activity peak in 2025 and the phases of the moon, as well as the mention of the Russell-McPherron effect, I'm going to take my chances with a mid to late March visit to Arctic Norway. I hope my long-standing dream of seeing the lights in person will finally come true. The most amount of odds *in favor* seem to cultivate around the March 2025 period!
Anywhere from September to March is a good time to see the aurora. This has to do with the nights being dark enough further north. I'm not experienced with locations in Canada, but looking at a map, I would say further north would be better. However when the aurora is strong, it could be visible there also. This is just my 2 cents, like I said I don't know for sure.
Did you watch the video? That should give you the most complete answer. If you're asking about the weather predictions or the aurora predictions for the 1st week of October, there is no way possible to say anything about this so far in advance.
I dont wanna disappoitn you but we been a few times to tromso and it's a game of luck for cloud cover. Last February we stayed for 2 weeks and 13 days of 14 were cloudy in Tromso directly. What I can recommend is renting a car and purchasing a good cloud map app (~5€), then just go find holes in the cloud cover and drive there, we managed to see them on 9 nights of 14 the last time even when Tromso itself was clouded. Keep in mind you might be driving a few hours. Personal advice if you dont wanna spend ridiculous amounts of money: stay away from tours. They do just the same as you can do with a smartphone, a car is ~60€ a day and takes you whereever you want with 4+ people, a tour is up to 200+ per person and you might even not see any lights at all. If you have the money, dont want to drive yourself and dont have photography equipment, sure go for a tour, but otherwise I'd stay off these for economic reason. Good luck!
There isn't really a best time at night. The northern lights can appear and be visible from whenever it's dark enough. You can check certain apps and websites to monitor any increases in activity but honestly: go when it gets dark and come back when you are tired 😄
September and October do tend to have much rain, you're right. However in March the monthly percipitation is the lowest in most areas in the Arctic. Nonetheless, weather is probably the most complicated factor to get right when determining when to see the aurora. Especially if you'd be planning a trip way in advance.

Yes 100% true! It's like they say: there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing 😉

Excelent nothern light info summary
Glad it was helpful!
OMG, best instruction ever!!! 🤩🤩🤩

How about the factor of cloudiness? Is there any particular month wetter or drier?
December - January tends to have worse weather. But honestly, the weather is quite hard to predict far in advance.
in Norway ,which place is to be good sight seeing ?. thanks for your informtion ❤
tromso!
Planned to visit tromso between 22 -23 rd sep and lofoten from 24th sep
Any suggestions on best place to see Northern lights near Tromso please? ❤
Book a tour in Tromso, they will know where the weather is good and they'll do their best to make sure you see the lights.
Does September means the 1st week of September would be a good time??
Everything I said about september also includes the first week of september yes
We are planning to go on November, to see the northern lights.. is it a good period and chance to see them?
@@ClaraIslam Hi there! Did you watch the video? I explain everything there 🙂
Is it a good time now to view it in Labrador? How far north one must be?
Anywhere from September to March is a good time to see the aurora. This has to do with the nights being dark enough further north.
I'm not experienced with locations in Canada, but looking at a map, I would say further north would be better. However when the aurora is strong, it could be visible there also. This is just my 2 cents, like I said I don't know for sure.
Hey
Thinking about going to Tromso during 21-23 September. Will it be cloudy?
There is no way of knowing that for sure. Best to check the weather some days in advance and still then the weather can change in a few hours.
But during equinox in September we could still get an aurora sighting right?
@@VishmaKapadia Yes sure!
some one told me you can see the greens with the naked eye, only using a camera
Depends how strong the lights are
How about 1st week of October this year/2024?
Did you watch the video? That should give you the most complete answer. If you're asking about the weather predictions or the aurora predictions for the 1st week of October, there is no way possible to say anything about this so far in advance.
How about cloud cover? I am going to Tromso for 4 nights (16-20 November)all days booked night tour, fingers 🤞what are the chances of seing auroras?
That is definitely a good time. And if you're going chasing all nights, your chances are pretty high! Feel free to leave another comment how it went!

@@C4Darkorbitwhat’s the cloud app u use?
@@cwu1202 Windy I think, my wife is doing the cloud coordination stuff usually while I'm driving^^
WILL IT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR AURORA HUNTING AT AROUND 20TH JANUARY?
Sure! January is a good time.
What about best time at night which o’clock to arrange to visit?
There isn't really a best time at night. The northern lights can appear and be visible from whenever it's dark enough. You can check certain apps and websites to monitor any increases in activity but honestly: go when it gets dark and come back when you are tired 😄
Hi! Love this video! Can we still see the lights in Kiruna and Rovaniemi end of March, beginning of April?
Yes could most certainly be possible. Nights are just shorter the later you go.
September and October had so much rain
September and October do tend to have much rain, you're right. However in March the monthly percipitation is the lowest in most areas in the Arctic.

It's silly how you'll not even mention the most important thing - the solar cycle. Some years are better than others.
