FAQ about Aurora in June

Unfortunately, June is not suitable for aurora viewing due to the midnight sun phenomenon. In Arctic regions, the sun doesn't set during this period, meaning the sky never gets dark enough to see the aurora. Consider visiting between September and March instead.

June is perfect for experiencing the midnight sun - 24 hours of daylight! Activities include midnight hiking, fishing under the never-setting sun, wildlife watching, and exploring national parks. Many visitors come specifically to experience this unique natural phenomenon.

Aurora season typically begins in late August when darkness returns to the Arctic. By mid-September, viewing conditions are good across most aurora destinations. The fall equinox in September often brings increased geomagnetic activity.
