Can you see the aurora borealis in summer?
During the northern summer, sunlight prevents viewing the aurora at high northern latitudes. As the sun climbs in the sky until June 21st and then descends, the nights are too light to see the aurora.

What is the difference between a Aurora borealis and a Aurora australis?
The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis
Do the northern aurora lights shine in the summer?
The Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) and the Aurora Australis (Southern lights) both "shine" all year round. They are caused by energized particles from the sun striking the Earth's Magnetosphere.
Can Aurora be seen in the winter?
Yes, frequently. The display of the aurora borealis isn't connected to the seasons. However, while auroras often OCCUR during the daytime, the faint light is difficult to SEE against the bright background of the sunlit sky. So we more often see auroras at night. And since auroras are usually high-latitude events, and the summer days are quite long at high latitudes, it makes sense that we will more often see auroras in the long winter nights - because the nights are longer!
Can you see the Aurora Borealis from St Petersburg Russia?
I have seen Aurora Borealis there once. But I've also seen snow in San Francisco Bay Area in summer, so go figure. Generally, it's very rare at this latitude. And mostly cloudy skies and plenty of street illumination over a vast urban area aren't going to help you to see it better.
