Northern lights tonight in Norway

Bergen is far south and often cloudy, but strong displays can be seen on occasion.

Stavanger is Norway's southernmost large city, and aurora is rare — but possible during strong storms.

Oslo needs strong activity and clear skies to see aurora. It does happen, but rarely.

Alta is known as the 'aurora town' and has a long history as a centre for northern lights research.

Nordkapp lies so far north that aurora can appear even at moderate activity — but the weather is harsh.

Trondheim is south of the typical aurora oval, but strong activity can bring lights to the northern sky.

Tromsø sits in the heart of the auroral oval and is one of the world's best places to see the northern lights.

Kirkenes lies in the far east near the Russian and Finnish borders, with a stable winter climate.
