- ~64%
Ylläs (Äkäslompolo) lies at 67.60° N in Lapland, Finland, about 116 km north of the Arctic Circle. With a geomagnetic latitude of about 64.9°, 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 64% chance of some visible aurora.
Darkness is never the problem in winter: the sun stays below the horizon from mid-December to late December, and nights with at least two hours of real darkness run from late August to mid-April. Between late May and mid-July the midnight sun makes aurora impossible to see. Around the winter solstice the sun is more than 12° below the horizon for about 15.5 hours a day.
Clouds decide most nights. Long-term records for Levi, 35 km away, show night-time cloud cover averaging 68% in March, the clearest month of the season, so roughly 32% 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.
