Tonight plan

Should you go out?

It is worth watching conditions in Helsinki. A short drive away from city lights can make the difference if the aurora brightens.

For most mid-latitude locations, a clear northern horizon matters more than standing downtown. Look north, avoid street lights, and give your eyes at least 15 minutes to adapt.
