It is said to be possible to see the Northern Lights or aurora from September till mid April. Whichever month you go, there is no guarantee of sighting. You need a clear sky and when you can see the moon, it is perfect, however, there must be strong activity. There is weather forecast and activity forecast on the website for Iceland - en.vedur.is. Kp is the index and it ranges from 1 to 9, with 1 the lowest and 9 the highest. The higher the number, the stronger the activity. Usually, a min of 3 means a good chance to see if the sky is clear with stars and no clouds. Therefore stay a minimum of 7 nights to increase your chances of seeing.
