The Northern Lights season is quickly drawing to an end, as longer days and shorter nights mean there are fewer hours of darkness during which you can catch a glimpse of one of nature's greatest shows.

According to IMO it will be dark from 22:02 (10:02 pm) to 4:52 (4:52 am). Sunset is at 21:05 (9:05 pm). With high Aurora activity you should have a pretty good chance of seeing the Aurora after dark on Sunday evening or early morning Monday.
Depending on the weather in the next few weeks, this might be one of the last good Aurora forecasts of the season. By mid-May the long Sub-Arctic summer days will mean we only have an three hours of darkness early morning, making it very difficult or near impossible to glimpse the Aurora. You should therefore make the most of Sunday's opportunity!
