Can auroras be seen in chicago?

They're usually only visible that far south during periods of very active solar activity.



When you get a burst of sun activity, you'll need to get out of the city, there's too much light pollution to see them in the city itself.

If the event is strong enough. They have been seen in florida before. of course the further north the more often you would see it.

Auroras can be seen in Chicago only if somebody first turns off all the lights and cleans the air. The auroras are there to be seen, but light pollution pretty well hides them. Get out in the dark countryside somewhere and find out when solar flares are happening and you'll see auroras.
In the seven years I lived in Evanston, (the burb directly north of Chicago). I saw exactly one with the naked eye.
