Aurora forecast / July
Northern lights in Iceland in July
No. Still too much light.
July nights remain far too bright. The sky begins to deepen very slightly by the end of the month, but not enough for aurora anywhere in the country. Plan a July trip around daylight rather than darkness.
How dark does it get in July?
- Reykjavík: never dark enough
- Akureyri: never dark enough
Measured on the 15th of the month — the hours the sun sits far enough below the horizon for aurora to be visible.
Roads and access in July
Full highland access, the best road conditions of the year.
What else is happening
Peak hiking season and full access to the interior.
