People visit St Mary's lighthouse in Whitley Bay to see the aurora borealis on May 10 (Image: Getty Images) After spectacular Northern Lights displays were visible as far south as Essex in recent days, a space weather forecaster has said there is “every chance of repeat performances” in the weeks to come after the recent extreme geomagnetic storm . The bands of pink and green light - also known as the aurora borealis - were seen across the UK and in parts of Europe last week, with the sun in the most active period of its 11-year cycle. The latest sun storm activity follows a period of flares and mass ejections of coronal plasma which have threatened to disrupt power and communications on Earth and in orbit.
Meteorologist Jim Dale, of British Weather Services, told Express.co.uk it was likely there was more to come.
