Sampled on the 1st of each month and on the four turning points, in 2026. Times are Akureyri local time . Iceland keeps the same clock all year, with no summer time.
The last column is the one that matters for the northern lights: the sun more than 18° below the horizon. It is always shorter than the night, and in midsummer it is zero for weeks at a time even where the sun still sets.
