While Ireland is not the prime location for witnessing the Northern Lights, there is a chance to see them on rare occasions. The best chances of catching the Northern Lights in Ireland occur during periods of high solar activity, typically during the winter months. To increase your chances, it’s recommended to head to remote and dark locations away from light pollution. Counties along the northern coast, such as Donegal and Antrim, offer better viewing conditions due to their proximity to the Arctic Circle.
