What month and Day of the year I can see aurora borealis in the Adirondack Pack in Upstate New York.|||Aurora is simply not that predictable.
The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is caused by incoming material in the solar wind being attracted by the Earth's magnetic field. The excitation of the upper atmosphere causes moving glowing shapes to appear, sometimes brilliantly coloured.
The aurora is caused by solar activity, so is not stronger or weaker at any particular time of the year on Earth. It tends to be seen more often in the winter because the nights are longer in the winter, but in fact can be seen at any time of year. The aurora is strongest close to the Earth's magnetic poles. Because more people live close to the North Magnetic Pole (in the northeastern Canadian Arctic), the aurora borealis is more frequently observed than the aurora australis. We are currently at the minimum of the 11 year cycle of solar activity, so aurora is exceedingly rare anywhere on Earth.|||Hey there,

|||There really is no month and date of the year, It really depends on the solar activity which right now is very low so I don't think you will see an aurora until the sun gets more active in a few years.
