Solar cycles follow a numbering system that began with Solar Cycle 1 in 1755. We are currently in Solar Cycle 25, which started at solar minimum in
Numbered solar cycles begin in the mid-18th century, with the quality and frequency of observations increasing substantially since the early 19th century. We are currently in Solar Cycle
The contrast with recent years, where spotless days dropped to zero, highlights just how active Solar Cycle 25 has been. Does this mean solar
Each month the solar prediction is updated using historical and the latest month''s observed solar indices to provide estimates for the balance of the
The updated prediction now calls for Solar Cycle 25 to peak between January and October of 2024, with a maximum sunspot number between 137 and 173. The
