2025 Solar Flare Chances. In december 2019, when the current solar cycle (solar cycle 25) began, the scpp predicted that solar maximum would likely start around 2025 and be relatively weak compared with past cycles,. For instance, solar cycle 24 saw its largest solar flares (x13.3 and x11.9) three years after its 2014 maximum, in 2017.
As we approach the peak of solar cycle 25, we should expect to see more sunspots, each of which is a region of intense magnetic activity capable of producing solar. But a bumper crop of sunspots, solar storms and rare solar phenomena suggest solar maximum.
