Skywatchers suggest that the best time to catch auroras is around late March and late September, around the time of the equinoxes.

Aurora's seasonal fluctuations
Data from the British Geological Survey reveals that, on average, a sizable magnetic storm happens on nearly twice as many days in March as in June or July.

More auroras
This year, the March equinox will bring stunning auroras. The most common explanation behind the connection between equinoxes and auroras is the orientation of Earth's magnetic field.

March equinox
The March equinox marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere. In India, the equinox falls on March 21 at 2:54 AM.

Theory
The Russell-McPherron effect describes why the Earth experiences heightened auroral activity around equinoxes. It is due to fluctuations in the solar magnetic fields.
