They were the best northern and southern lights in decades, but why? And what’s next? We hear from astrophysicist Steph Yardley about the solar maximum, geomagnetic storms and atmospheric spectaculars.

Getting close up to raging tornadoes in order to fill in the big gaps that remain in the science of their development.
