Northern lights could be observed overnight from Saturday to Sunday.
Observation opportunities
The KP index of this geomagnetic storm – which is responsible for these northern lights – is 5. The potential to see the northern lights on Saturday evening is therefore not fully exploited, but is still there. If you are in an area with good visibility you can observe this.
These northern lights are colored in different shades of green and red.
The happiness sectors
Not surprisingly, the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region has the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights on Saturday evening.
If you live in the Laurentides, Lanaudière, Lac-Saint-Jean, Northern Outaouais or Northern Mauricie areas, you also have a chance to see this show.
Although clouds are forecast for eastern Quebec overnight from Saturday to Sunday, clearing is possible for Gaspésie and Bas-Saint-Laurent. You could therefore also monitor these sectors.
How to see the Northern Lights
Although they often offer breathtaking spectacles, the Northern Lights can sometimes be more difficult to spot.
