By: Visit Finland - Solar activity varies periodically on an average of 11 years. The next solar activity maximum is predicted for 2013, explains Geophysicist Jyrki Manninen of the Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory in Lapland. It is estimated that the Northern Lights are visible up to 200 nights a year in Finnish Lapland, from September to April. The Aurora maximum goes on for approximately two years after the solar activity maximum. - The next couple of winters in Finland will be ideal for travellers who want to spot the Aurorae, says Manninen.
