Solar Storms Rising: Why 2026 Could Be Prime Time for Northern Lights
Rising solar activity following the recent solar maximum could make 2026 one of the best years to witness the Northern Lights. Scientists expect an increase in powerful solar storms that enhance auroral intensity and expand visibility to lower latitudes. These post-solar maximum effects may create more frequent, vivid, and widespread aurora displays, offering rare viewing opportunities for skywatchers, photographers, and travellers across the Northern Hemisphere and beyond.
