Not all predictions are accurate, of course, but I bet the folks at NASA and the Solar Observatory have a good handle on things. This was one of their predictions from early last year, based on some new observations of the past 4 solar cycles:
Ouch! Not very encouraging. Of course there are always nay-say’ers, including some calling for the largest solar cycle in decades. But I seriously doubt that. In any event the board that decides these things issued their official forecast at the end of 2019. Here is what NASA forecasts for Cycle 25:
Not quite as low, in fact pretty much comparable to Cycle 24. And there is no doubt that Cycle 25 has begun already. Two more years from now and times should be MUCH better.
