The aurora is a common occurrence in Norway.

And no, we're not close to Norway.

The way I understand it, while this is one of our better chances of seeing it in the UK. It is still highly unlikely. We are just a bit to far south of the pole to get a good chance.

I clicked thinking this was about weed.

I'd like to see the Northern Lights anyway though. I'll leave now.
