Northern Lights Expected in Kiruna
Check the Aurora Forecast for the Best Viewing Times
According to the Swedish Space Weather Center (SSWC), the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are expected to be visible in Kiruna, Sweden, and its surrounding areas over the next few days. The SSWC provides regular updates on the KP index, which measures the probability of seeing the aurora borealis.
The KP index for Kiruna is currently at 5, indicating a high probability of visible aurora activity. This is due to increased solar activity, which causes charged particles from the sun to enter Earth's atmosphere and interact with its magnetic field. These interactions create the colorful displays of light known as the northern lights.
To ensure the best chances of seeing the aurora borealis, it is recommended to venture out into a dark, open area with minimal light pollution. It is also helpful to have an aurora forecast app on your smartphone for real-time updates and alerts. The SSWC also provides a detailed aurora forecast for Abisko, another popular aurora viewing spot in Sweden.
