The Northern Lights could appear over Montreal this week

The Northern Lights could be making an appearance over Quebec’s skies this week.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a G2 moderate geometric storm has been issued for September 13.

This means that the Northern Lights should be visible in southern areas of the US. However, there is also a chance that the auroras could also appear over Quebec if skies are clear.

Updates on the Northern Lights and timing will be available on the Space Weather Prediction Centre’s ‘Aurora- 30 Minute Forecast’ page. The expected time of the Lights varies between latitudes, but it generally happens anytime between 10 pm and 4 am local time.

To catch the show in full display, try to head away from city centres and light pollution. And don’t forget your cameras.
