The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a broad display of rather faint light in the northern skies at night,
most vivid and frequently seen, of different colors, at 20 degrees from the magnetic poles, along the northern coast of the North American continent and the eastern part of the northern coast of Europe.
The Aurora Borealis has been seen as far south as Key West.

The Northern Lights are a magnetic phenomenon that is especially strong during active solar periods such as solar flares.
They can be seen regularly in and around the arctic circle but I believe during flares they have been seen as far south as parts of Mexico, and certainly in TX, Ariz., Calif., Fla. and southern Spain as other posters mentioned.

that's been reported that it *could* be considered as a procedures south as Washington, D.C. So long island is a diverse risk in spite of the fact which you will in all likelihood might desire to be in a rural area. the city lights furniture of long island city could wash out the aurora at that variety which could be exceptionally dim. Even an entire moon ought to debris it up (inasmuch via fact the sunshine from the moon overwhelms the dim aurora around long island city...if it even occurs).

This depends greatly on the intensity of the charged particles hitting the earth's upper atmosphere. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were once visible in southern Spain, that sort of latitude, but that is a once in a bi- or tri-centennial event. It is fairly rare to see them even from the south of England, at about 50 deg, but from the north of Scotland at about 58 deg they are not uncommon.

They've been visible from southern Arizona a couple of times. (Latitude 32 degrees.)
