Strange Sounds – October 3, 2021<\/p>\n

Solar Cycle 25 continues to overperform. Sunspot counts for Sept. 2021 were the highest in more than 5 years.<\/p>\n

And, for the 11th month in a row, the sunspot number has significantly exceeded the official forecast:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, 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).<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The plot above shows sunspot counts vs. time. The red curve traces the forecast issued by the NOAA\/NASA Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel in 2019. It calls for a relatively weak solar cycle peaking in July 2025.<\/p>\n

The sun has a mind of its own, though. Higher-than-expected sunspot counts suggest a stronger cycle, with a peak occuring in late 2024 instead of mid-2025. This is good news for aurora watchers, but maybe not so good for the Internet. [Space Weather]<\/a><\/p>\n
