Aurora forecast / June
Northern lights in Iceland in June
No. This is the midnight sun.
Around the solstice the sun sets only briefly and never far enough below the horizon for the sky to darken. Aurora is physically occurring overhead on plenty of June nights — you simply cannot see it. There is no combination of solar activity and clear sky that changes this.
How dark does it get in June?
- 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 June
Highland F-roads begin opening through the month as snowmelt allows.
What else is happening
The best month for highland access, hiking and the midnight sun itself.
