Sampled on the 1st of each month and on the four turning points, in 2026. Times are Kilpisjärvi local time and include the summer-time change, which in Finland is the last Sunday of March and of October.
The last column is the one that matters for the northern lights: the sun more than 18° below the horizon. It is always shorter than the night, and in midsummer it is zero for weeks at a time even where the sun still sets.
Tonight's aurora verdict for this place: Worth going out after 23:00 if the cloud breaks — a 10% chance of aurora overhead. The cloud thins to 67% around 03:00. A full moon (100% lit) is up, so faint arcs will be washed out.
