Aurora Forecast Tonight
The current KP index is 2, with real-time geomagnetic activity measured at 1.67. This means aurora activity is considered very weak tonight.
While solar activity is low, auroras in Iceland can still surprise us — especially if cloud cover breaks later tonight. March remains one of the best months of the year for Northern Lights hunting, so it’s always worth checking the sky if clouds thin out.
Aurora outlook:
- KP 0–2: Very weak activity
- Current status: Low probability
If you are staying several nights, your chances increase significantly — one of the best reasons to plan a slightly longer West Iceland getaway.
What to Pack Today
- Warm waterproof jacket
- Layered clothing (thermal base layer recommended)
- Hat and gloves for evening outings
- Comfortable waterproof walking shoes
Temperatures just above freezing can feel cooler with coastal breezes, so dressing in layers will keep you comfortable throughout the day.
