Storslett lies at 69.77° N in Troms, Norway, about 357 km north of the Arctic Circle. With a geomagnetic latitude of about 67.3°, 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 75% chance of some visible aurora.

Darkness is never the problem in winter: the sun stays below the horizon from late November to mid-January, and nights with at least two hours of real darkness run from early September to early April. Between mid-May and late July the midnight sun makes aurora impossible to see. Around the winter solstice the sun is more than 12° below the horizon for about 16 hours a day.

Clouds decide most nights. Long-term records for Tromsø, 81 km away, show night-time cloud cover averaging 77% in September, the clearest month of the season, so roughly 23% of nights are clear then. Check the cloud layers in the hourly forecast above: a short drive can make the difference when cloud is patchy.
