The Best Times to See Northern Lights in Canada
The best times to see Northern Lights in Canada have as much to do with location as timing. This celestial spectacle, also known as the Aurora borealis, is an important bucket-list experience for many. Watching the sky glow with dancing hues of green, purple, and red is an awe-inspiring event. However, to increase your chances of seeing this otherworldly display, you need to research your trip carefully.
Embrace the Northern Lights in Warmer Months
Most people are conditioned that the cold, clear nights from November through April are the prime Northern lights viewing time. This is mainly true for those well-known locations that are unfortunately near sea bodies and are overcast much of the rest of the year. One of the best-kept secrets about the Northern lights is that they can be seen during the much warmer months of August and September in certain places. This is when Gangler’s Sub-Arctic offers luxury northern lights trips in Manitoba, Canada. Ganglers sits inland, in the southern part of the Aurora hot zone and boasts an amazing 97% success rate. Visiting the far north during these months not only gives you a chance to witness incredible Northern lights but also allows you to enjoy the experience during warmer weather. 50 degrees F is much more fun than -20 !
