When can I see the northern lights?

You can only see the northern lights during winter time when it’s dark outside (from around late August to late April). Also you only see them if it’s cloudless, not raining and not snowing. There is no certain time when they appear the most – they can appear from early evening to early morning. Just don’t forget to look up in the sky frequently when it’s dark outside.
Also check our aurora forecast and cloudcover forecast every 15min to see how big your chances will be. Sometimes they are not very active and you do not see them even on a cloudless night. You also need a bit of luck to see them :).

Generally you can say, if you can see the stars and are patient and staring into the sky for hours, your chances are high that you see some.
December and January are usually the months with the heaviest storms and there are a lot of storms, so we would say these months the chances are a bit smaller that you see the Auroras (but not impossible), but every year is different.
