Pick Norway 🇳🇴 if you're going in…

May, June, July, August, September, November, December

The northern lights need clear, dark, cold skies — March is statistically the best month in Tromsø.

Pick Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 if you're going in…

January, February, March

If your dates are fixed, switch coasts to dodge the monsoon.

Months where both are equally good: April, October.
