The only people not enjoing the unseasonably mild and warm weather in Iceland over the last few days are probably those who are on the hunt for the northern lights. In order to see the northern lights the skies have to be clear or at least partially clear, but mild weather at this time of the year in Iceland usually means clouds, some rain or at least drizzle. Not the ideal conditions at all.
However this coming weekend should provide an excellent opportunity for witnessing this great natural wonder, according to the Icelandic Met Office's (IMO) Aurora Borealis forecast. From around midnight on Saturday and until Sunday morning the weather will be cold (around 0 C/32 F) and the skies clear in all of west Iceland, from Reykjanes peninsula in the south to the Westfjords in the north.
IMO provides cloud cover forecast for a few days ahead and expected Aurora activity within that time frame.
