How often is the Aurora Borealis and when is it best visible?

This may be a dumb question but when it comes to space and etc.. I am uneducated. I live in Alberta,Canada So I am not in the center but im not on the coast. I was wondering when the next best possible time to see it is. Thanks|||Auroral activity depends on solar activity, and cannot be predicted except in a very general way. For the last year or two we have been at solar minimum and here have been no auroras. Solar activity is picking up and auroras will be more frequent. Northern Alberta is an excellent location for aurora.|||It's not possible to predict the exact time, date or location of the Aurora Borealis





Encase you're wondering, Aurora Borealis is the Sun's radiation which crashes on the magnetic field of the Earth at the North Pole and is moving southward at a high speed.|||As the previous poster mentioned, the northern part of your province is a good place to see it. It's best seen on winter nights because they are long and aren't likely to be washed out by sunlight like they would be in the summer.
