What is the best time to see the Northern Lights?
The best time to see the Northern Lights in Lapland is from late August to April, with peak visibility typically occurring between September and March. The auroras appear when the sky is both dark and clear, most often between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Statistically, spring (March/April) and autumn (September/October) are the most active months. Still, you might also be treated to spectacular displays in November, December, January, and February – all it takes is a burst of solar activity sending particles our way. Aurora activity reached a peak in 2024, and from now until 2026, the Northern Lights are expected to be at their strongest in over a decade.
