The Aurora Peak Is Over, But You Can Still See the Northern Lights. Here's How.

The 11-year solar maximum that brought northern lights as far south as Texas and Florida has peaked; the coming solar minimum through 2030 will shift aurora viewing to higher latitudes like Fairbanks, Alaska (60–75 degrees), where regular reliable displays are expected from increased coronal holes and solar wind.

Contiguous U.S. visibility will become rarer but remains possible—those in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or along the U.S.-Canada border may still catch naked-eye displays monthly, though typically low on the horizon.
