How about a trip to Alaska
A Brief Summary
So you’re bored of seeing “Blue” skies are you… well for most of the year, in most countries, you get a choice of blue, or a varying shade of grey. But not here in winter. Colours range from green, to yellow, red, blue and purple. They are the Aurora. Regularly found in the northern reaches of Alaska from Dec to Feb, but probably at their most vivid during the almost incessant nights of January, these bewitching sights are far more spectacular to witness in the flesh than when seen on camera or film.
Location
About the Weather
Central Alaska is removed from the moderating influences of the Altantic or Arctic Oceans and as a result sees lower temperatures then elsewhere across this region of Canada. Lows of -40°c are common in winter and snowfall is frequent, if not particularly heavy. Spring and Autumn months see cool weather with light snow or rain, however while spring is very sunny, autumn is much more overcast and more akin to winter in terms of sunshine levels. Summers are warm and sunny, especially Jun and Jul, with heatwaves bringing temperatures well above 30°c from Jun to Aug. Winter begins in earnest in late Oct and lasts through until early Apr.
