Solar Cycle 25 Forecast Update
published: Monday, December 09, 2019 22:30 UTC

The NOAA/NASA co-chaired, international panel to forecast Solar Cycle 25 
released their latest forecast for Solar Cycle 25. The forecast 
consensus: a peak in July, 2025 (+/- 8 months), with a smoothed sunspot 
number (SSN) of 115. The panel agreed that Cycle 25 will be average in 
intensity and similar to Cycle 24.

Additionally, the panel concurred that solar minimum between Cycles 24 
and 25 will occur in April, 2020 (+/- 6 months). If the solar minimum 
prediction is correct, this would make Solar Cycle 24 the 7th longest on 
record (11.4 years).
