Pyhä webcams

3 live video streams from Pyhä Dreams, Visit Pyhä-Luosto and PanoCloud, 2 Fintraffic road cameras on the roads into Pyhä, and the thing a camera cannot tell you: whether tonight is worth going out for the northern lights.

Live video from Pyhä

Press play to start a stream. Each one plays in YouTube's own player because its owner switched embedding on.

Pyhä has no verdict of its own. The nearest place this site reads the sky for is Rovaniemi, 87 km south-west: the same aurora, though the cloud can differ.

Aurora tonight in Rovaniemi

Worth going out after 20:16 if the cloud breaks — a 21% chance of aurora overhead. The cloud thins to 56% around 02:00. A waxing gibbous (92% lit) is up, so faint arcs will be washed out.

Checked against NOAA SWPC and FMI.

Tonight's evidence for Rovaniemi: activity, cloud, darkness and the moon.

Road cameras on the way in

Fintraffic's cameras, each played back as its last 24 hours in twelve seconds. The road surface temperature is shown where a road weather station stands beside the camera.

These publish their pictures under their own terms, which do not let anybody else show them, so they are a link.

Daylight today

On 23 October 2026 the sun rises at 08:46 and sets at 17:18 in Rovaniemi, 87 km south-west: 8 hours 32 minutes of daylight, so the cameras show Pyhä in daylight only around those times. Daylight in Rovaniemi through the year.
