Tips for Aurora Hunting

1

Escape the Light Pollution

The northern lights are easiest to spot from dark locations. Head away from city centres and streetlights.

2

Check the Weather

Clear skies are essential. We fetch live cloud cover data from Yr automatically for you.

3

Be Patient

The aurora can appear suddenly and vanish just as fast. Plan to be outside for at least 2-3 hours for the best chance of a display.

4

Dress Warmly

Aurora hunting often means freezing winter nights. Layer up with wool, bring warm drinks, and wear insulated boots.
