Solar Cycle 25 set for peak activity in 2025 with increased solar flares and eclipses
Solar Cycle 25 is expected to remain highly active throughout 2025, with increased solar flares and geomagnetic storms. This could affect satellite systems and power grids, while also creating opportunities for auroras in lower latitudes. Partial solar eclipses are scheduled for March and September, visible in regions including North America, Europe, and New Zealand. The sun is currently in its solar maximum phase, surpassing the activity levels of Solar Cycle 24. The ongoing solar activity may lead to significant geomagnetic storms, similar to those experienced in 2024. These storms could disrupt technology-dependent industries, raising concerns about potential impacts on navigation and agriculture.
