    Temperature is such a good thing to bring up, it can be freezing cold and without the right clothes/preparations you won't be standing outside very long, would be unfortunate to miss the high activity because of bad clothes when traveling potentially very far to see it. Love the content!

    Yes 100% true! It's like they say: there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing 😉

    There isn't really a best time at night. The northern lights can appear and be visible from whenever it's dark enough. You can check certain apps and websites to monitor any increases in activity but honestly: go when it gets dark and come back when you are tired 😄

    Is it a good time now to view it in Labrador? How far north one must be?

    Anywhere from September to March is a good time to see the aurora. This has to do with the nights being dark enough further north. I'm not experienced with locations in Canada, but looking at a map, I would say further north would be better. However when the aurora is strong, it could be visible there also. This is just my 2 cents, like I said I don't know for sure.

    I dont wanna disappoitn you but we been a few times to tromso and it's a game of luck for cloud cover. Last February we stayed for 2 weeks and 13 days of 14 were cloudy in Tromso directly. What I can recommend is renting a car and purchasing a good cloud map app (~5€), then just go find holes in the cloud cover and drive there, we managed to see them on 9 nights of 14 the last time even when Tromso itself was clouded. Keep in mind you might be driving a few hours. Personal advice if you dont wanna spend ridiculous amounts of money: stay away from tours. They do just the same as you can do with a smartphone, a car is ~60€ a day and takes you whereever you want with 4+ people, a tour is up to 200+ per person and you might even not see any lights at all. If you have the money, dont want to drive yourself and dont have photography equipment, sure go for a tour, but otherwise I'd stay off these for economic reason. Good luck!

    How about the factor of cloudiness? Is there any particular month wetter or drier?

    December - January tends to have worse weather. But honestly, the weather is quite hard to predict far in advance.

    There is no way of knowing that for sure. Best to check the weather some days in advance and still then the weather can change in a few hours.

    Did you watch the video? That should give you the most complete answer. If you're asking about the weather predictions or the aurora predictions for the 1st week of October, there is no way possible to say anything about this so far in advance.

    September and October had so much rain

    September and October do tend to have much rain, you're right. However in March the monthly percipitation is the lowest in most areas in the Arctic. Nonetheless, weather is probably the most complicated factor to get right when determining when to see the aurora. Especially if you'd be planning a trip way in advance.
