Northern Lights Over Vienna? Here's What an Expert Says

If you've always wanted to admire the Northern Lights but slept through them last night, don't throw in the towel. "Northern Lights are also possible in Austria on the night to Thursday as another solar storm is expected to reach Earth during the course of Wednesday," said Christian Möstl, head of the Space Weather Office of Geosphere Austria, in a statement on Wednesday. And: "The weather allows for a clear view of the starry sky in most parts of Austria in the coming night. However, dense fog patches persist in some lowland areas," according to the federal agency.

Bad News for Vienna

In the federal capital, one should not get their hopes up too high. "Unfortunately, the terrestrial weather doesn't look so good for Vienna, the high fog is likely to remain," Möstl informed in response to a VIENNA.at inquiry in the afternoon.

Watching Northern Lights - But Where?

In general, the expert advises finding a place that "offers an elevated clear view to the north, with little artificial lighting nearby." Don't forget your phone camera. It "often shows more colors than the naked eye," said Möstl.
