Northern Lights Forecast (04 February to 06 February 2025)
According to the available space weather forecast for February 4th to 6th, 2025, a minimal chance exists of viewing the Northern Lights since no significant geomagnetic storms will take place. The Kp index is expected to stay almost all below 4, which means there will be practically no auroral activity. In addition, no severe solar flares and coronal mass ejections are expected for this period, thus a low chance of strong aurora displays. Even with this low activity, clear skies and being within the auroral oval are important for any potential sightings. Here we have the places to visit to witness the Northern Lights:
