Are you in Iceland for some northern lights sighting? Excellent timing! This week should be fantastic. The conditions will be ideal in the southwest where the skies will be clear or partly clear. Tonight looks especially good, and the forecast is very good until at least Saturday.
According to the Icelandic Met Office’s (IMO) excellent Aurora forecast service we can expect grade five activity (scale 1-9) on Wednesday night. IMO explains that grade 2 (low activity) can be beautiful and grade 3 (moderate) can be dazzling.
IMO builds its forecast on combined information on aurora activity, cloud cover, sunlight and moonlight.
