Frequently Asked Questions
Can you see the Northern Lights in Berlin tonight?

What Kp index is needed to see the Northern Lights in Berlin?
Berlin: about Kp 6 everywhere. The places on this site sit at similar geomagnetic latitudes, so the threshold is the same. Kp is a probability signal, not a guarantee — it still takes a clear, dark sky.
What are the best months to see the Northern Lights in Berlin?
September to April, with November to February the darkest stretch — though at this latitude the season is set by how often a storm reaches you, not by daylight.
Where is the best place to see the Northern Lights in Berlin?
