Tasiilaq lies at 65.61° N in Sermersooq, Greenland, about 105 km south of the Arctic Circle. With a geomagnetic latitude of about 70.6°, 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.
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.
Clouds decide most nights, and we have no long-term cloud record near Tasiilaq. The hourly score above uses the live cloud forecast for this exact spot, so on a storm night it shows whether the sky is open where you are.
