  1. Edmonton 🇨🇦 CanadaAurora season · 1. sep. – 10. apr.Edmonton sits far enough north to catch the lights on active nights from September through the spring.67
  2. Inverness 🇬🇧 United KingdomAurora on strong nights · 15. sep. – 31. mar. (normalt)Far enough north that a decent solar storm shows over the Moray Firth, but not far enough that it is routine.63
