Northern lights in Hemavan: what to expect

- ~58%
Hemavan lies at 65.83° N in Västerbotten, Sweden, about 81 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 mid-April. Around midsummer the sun does not set at all (mid-June to late June), and the light nights either side rule out aurora. Around the winter solstice the sun is more than 12° below the horizon for about 15 hours a day.
Clouds decide most nights. The hourly score above uses the live cloud forecast for this exact spot; for trip planning, the Kiruna guide (318 km away) covers the best months and clear-night odds for the wider region.
