Aurora (weather)

In the real world, the Aurora is a naturally occuring light show only visible in the Arctic (North) and Antarctic (South) circles. It is only visible at night time, and is caused by the collision of particles in the sky. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the Aurora is visible on clear nights, and can be seen from 8 P.M. until 10 P.M. It is at its brightest at 9 P.M., shining bright shades of pink and green and moving in folds.

The aurora in City Folk is not specified as either the Arctic of Antarctic of the real world varieties, most probably as to include buyers of the game in both the Northern and Southern areas of the earth.

Residents of the Player's town, walking around when the aurora is in veiw, may comment on it.
