Yellowknife is right in the middle of the Aurora Oval.
( Meaning we have the highest % chance of seeing Aurora at our latitude on the planet )
The land is around here is really flat, and therefore there are not so many clouds as they don’t get trapped by mountains!
Also, the cold weather makes for less moisture in the atmosphere hence less cloud and more clear skies.
Yellowknife is also a small and isolated city, therefore there is not a lot of light pollution.
When the sky is dark!
Aurora is like the wind, we never know where or when it will appear. Sometimes it’s there all night, other times it comes and goes.
Our seasons run from :
12 August – 14 October 2019
