Results are presented for the first 11 years of a study of the frequency of overhead auroras in North America as a function of latitude in a region south of the auroral zone. The data have been averaged in various ways so that monthly and annual variations are demonstrated. It appears that there is a relatively constant level of auroral activity throughout the year in the region 58° to 60° geomagnetic latitude, while auroras appearing overhead south of these latitudes are more frequent during equinoctial periods. Auroras have been seen as far south as 52° during this period every month of the year. Correlation of auroral frequency with sunspot number is not high on a month‐by‐month or three‐month running‐
