Northern lights in Estonia?

1. There is a facebook group called “Eestimaa Virmalised” which is quite active and if there’s a chance to see them, a post will be made with predictions. Otherwise you can follow the graphs yourself [here](https://virmalised.ee/monitooring/) but it’s not very straightforward.

   And a place to see them, basically anywhere where there’s no light pollution. So a bit away from the city and facing North. But just a heads up, while all the pictures look amazing and colorful, most of the time to the human eye they appear like a greyish fog in the sky(atleast in this region). Sometimes they’re powerful enough that you’ll see different colours and waves, but more often it’s not that noticeable.

   EDIT: if you join the facebook group, please read everything before and don’t make a post “when can i see auroras” cause there’s a lot of new people joining who ask this and nobody can predict it.
