Sampled on the 1st of each month and on the four turning points, in 2026. Times are Oslo local time and include the summer-time change, on the last Sunday of March and of October.

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.
