find several villagers hanging around Resident Services and Animal Crossing Items looking at the sky. You can talk to them to hear some rare dialogue about the Northern Lights.

You can also commemorate the evening with your very own Aurora wallpaper, which will cover your home’s walls with Northern Lights. In the Northern Hemisphere, you can purchase the Aurora wall from Nook Shopping during the month of December. Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, the item is available from June 7 to July 6. You can always time travel back to the appropriate month if you missed the sale.The Northern Lights are a completely random weather pattern, so there’s no surefire way to predict when you’ll see something. However, if you’re familiar with your island’s other weather patterns, you can get a general idea by using MeteoNook. Developed by popular Animal Crossing dataminer Ninji, this app predicts weather patterns based on previous experiences.

Otherwise, finding the Northern Lights takes patience. Make sure to check your island every night to increase your chances of seeing them. Additionally, pay attention to villager dialogue LOLGA.COM during the day — some of them might mention that Auroras will appear later that evening.
