Brønnøysund lies at 65.47° N in Nordland, Norway, about 121 km south of the Arctic Circle. With a geomagnetic latitude of about 64.3°, it sits under the auroral oval: even quiet nights (Kp 1–2) can bring aurora overhead. Over the long term, a dark, clear night here has roughly a 58% chance of some visible aurora.

Nights with at least two hours of real darkness run from late August to late April; in the light summer nights between, the aurora cannot be seen. Around the winter solstice the sun is more than 12° below the horizon for about 15 hours a day.
