March, March, March, March! - When is the Best Time to see the Northern Lights?
March is the best time to see the Northern Lights
I have lost count of the number of times I have been asked when the best time is to see the Northern Lights but, my answer is always the same: March.
However, despite numerous blogs, interviews, and social media output, frustratingly, I have never been able to convince our clientele about the merits of the year’s third month. I honestly do not understand why but, the best month for hunting the Northern Lights remains one of our quietest aurora chasing months.
It is baffling.
The scientific evidence is compelling and includes painstaking research from NASA proving that geomagnetic activity is historically at its highest in the weeks around the spring equinox (20 March 2022). What does geomagnetic activity make? That’s right, the Aurora Borealis.
