July 5 2025 Solar Flare. The 2019 panel, convened by noaa, nasa, and the international space environment services (ises), predicted that solar cycle 25, following a relatively weak solar cycle 24, would also be weak, peaking in july 2025 at a maximum sunspot number of 115. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (cme) will likely become more probable and impactful space weather events may be possible in 2024.
With more activity comes an increase in space weather events including solar flares and solar eruptions, which can impact radio communications, electric power grids, and navigation signals, as well as pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts.
