Aurora Forecast and Viewing Guide for British Columbia
Northern Lights in British Columbia
The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are a natural light display in the sky, primarily visible at high latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. They are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field.
Aurora Viewing in British Columbia
British Columbia is located at a high enough latitude to see the Northern Lights, but sightings are not as common as in more northerly regions like Alaska or the Yukon. You may be in for a treat if you are in British Columbia during aurora season, which typically runs from September to April.
Follow the local aurora alerts to know when to expect the show and choose a day that is clear and dry for the best viewing experience.
