#NORTHERN LIGHTS OHIO FULL#

But in our experience, any half decent Northern Lights show will be clearly visible even during the full moon. If the Northern Lights are very weak and taking place directly on front of the full moon, the full moon might pose a problem by drowning the Aurora Borealis in light. What about when it is a full moon - can you still see the Northern Lights? Bear in mind that during the darkest part of winter ( December to early January) you may only have a few hours of daylight with extended dawns and dusks. Creating the picture perfect white Christmas and winter wonderland, the snow provides the opportunity to combine your Aurora Borealis search with fun adventure activities, such as dog sledding, skiing and reindeer sledding. From December, the weather starts to dry up and snow generally covers the landscape.

Note: it doesn't need to be cold as such, just clear (which tends to be when it is cold!)Īlthough October and November can be stormy, particularly along the coast, they are generally good months.

Check out the daily Aurora Sighting website here to see how the Aurora is fairing this week. To see the lights, it needs to be dark and cold with as little cloud as possible. At 50 Degrees North, we are often asked when is the best time to view the Northern Lights, and fortunately for us, there is a large window of opportunity offered in our region.īetween the autumn and spring equinox (21 September – 21 March), the Aurora lights are at their most frequent.
