The aurora borealis is typically not visible from Seattle, Washington, as it is too far south. To see the aurora borealis, you would need to travel to locations closer to the magnetic poles, such as Alaska or northern Canada.
All the time. Visible mostly in winter because that is when the sky is darkest.
The Aurora borealis, or northern lights, can occur anytime it is dark and the sky is clear, usually between 9 pm and 2 am. However, the best time to see them is typically between 10 pm and 2 am. Timing can also vary based on the geomagnetic activity in the region.
The Aurora Borealis (also known as the northern lights) is seen in the night time sky exclusively in the northern hemisphere. It is more prominently and frequently viewed at northern latitudes, but can be seen generally throughout the temperate regions north of the equator, especially during the equinoxes (near spring and fall). . The Aurora Australis is the southern hemisphere's counterpart to the Aurora Borealis.
From time to time with large CME's from the sun.........the lights can be seen this far down south.

Mostly during winter (skies are darkest then).

To capture the beauty of the aurora borealis through photography, use a DSLR camera with manual settings, a sturdy tripod, and a wide-angle lens. Find a dark location away from city lights, set a long exposure time, and adjust the ISO and aperture settings to capture the vibrant colors and movement of the aurora. Experiment with different compositions and angles to create stunning aurora photographs.
When shooting the aurora borealis, use a wide aperture (f/2.8 or lower), a high ISO (800-3200), and a long exposure time (15-30 seconds). Experiment with different settings to capture the vibrant colors and movement of the Northern Lights.
The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, can be seen in countries like Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Canada, and Finland. The best time to see the Northern Lights is from late September to late March when the nights are longest and the skies are darkest.
It is caused by the showers of particles spraying out of the sun and captured by the magnetic field of the earth. So it is not actually on a regular schedule, and actually is happening constantly, but is best seen at night. The brightness and extent is determined by how charged the particles are. The closer you are to the north magnetic pole the more often you will see it.
The Aurora Borealis has not been seen in the UK since 2005. However now (2010) we are moving into a time of increased solar storm activity, so there will be more displays of the Northern and Southern Auroras in the next few years. Chances of seeing them in the UK are about 10%. See the video at the attached link
