Seeing the Aurora in Thingvellir

Best Time of Year in Thingvellir
You can spot the aurora here anytime from September to March. While the dark winter months are most popular, the autumn and spring equinoxes often bring a statistical increase in geomagnetic activity.
FAQ
What Kp index do I need to see the northern lights in Thingvellir?
In Thingvellir, even quiet geomagnetic conditions can be enough for aurora overhead.
This is based on magnetic latitude, and Kp index is a global geomagnetic index, so treat it as a rule of thumb, not a location-specific guarantee.
Tonight, the NOAA Kp index forecast is 2.5 to 4. That is well above the usual Kp index threshold for Thingvellir, so you should have a strong chance of seeing the aurora if the sky is clear.
