Auroras are closely related to solar activity, which follows an average 11-year cycle. Each cycle brings both vibrant auroras and those that are hard to observe. In 2014, we experienced the recent peak of solar activity, which also led to multiple large-scale aurora outbursts in 2015. By 2016, solar activity has been weakening but is still within a period when auroras are relatively easy to enjoy. After 2016 until 2023, it will be quite difficult to see auroras, and you'll have to wait until 2024 for the next new cycle.
