A new model of the Sun’s solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun’s 11-year
heartbeat. The model draws on dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun, one close to the surface and one deep within its convection
zone. Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the
‘mini ice age’ that began in 1645.
The New Sunspot Number Calculation: Effective July 1, 2015
Predictions for our next Solar Cycle #25 (starting in 2020, peaking in 2025) and why it is expected to be even smaller than our current cycle (2013 peak), which is the smallest since 1906. Cycle #26 (2030-2040) is predicted to be negligible.
The current transition from Solar Maxima into Solar Minima, propelling us into a period of Global Cooling, which is expected to produce a Mini Ice Age.
Our current Solar Cycle #24 (2013-14) and declining solar activity.
How planetary cycles drive solar cycles and how solar cycles govern our solar system's climate.
