Aurora Potential Tonight Based on current conditions, your best chance to catch the Northern Lights is across northern sections of Central and Eastern Ontario, where the aurora may be visible along the northern horizon. However, a substorm may be imminent, which could boost aurora activity and push the lights much farther south, potentially giving more of Southern Ontario a chance to see them! Skies are mostly clear across the region, but a nearly full Moon will make the aurora harder to see until it sets around 2 AM. If you’re heading out, find a dark location away from city lights with a clear view of the northern horizon. 📸 Photography tip: Use your phone’s Night Mode or a camera on a tripod with a long exposure. Try night mode settings of several seconds, keep your camera steady, and take a few shots even if the aurora looks faint to your eyes. Your camera may capture colours that are difficult to see in person!
