HOW TO READ THE FORECAST
Kp Index
Measures geomagnetic activity.
In Iceland, even Kp 1–2 can produce
visible auroras due to the high latitude.
Cloud Cover
Clear skies are essential for seeing
the Northern Lights. Lower cloud cover
means better viewing conditions.
Darkness Hours
Longer and darker nights provide
better viewing conditions, especially
from late September through March.
Vera Aurora Score
Our viewing-condition score combines
solar activity, cloud cover and darkness
to quickly show overall aurora potential.
