Solar Cycle 25 (peaking in 2025) is ramping up already and the surface of the sun is becoming more active than initially predicted. Space Weather forecasts will be even more important as the solar activity increases! For The National Weather Desk! | Marshall McPeek

NASA Detects Unusual Surge in Solar Activity — Beyond the Normal Cycle ☀️ NASA scientists have reported that the Sun’s activity is increasing in a way that defies its usual patterns. Ordinarily, the Sun follows an 11-year solar cycle, transitioning from quiet phases (solar minimum) to energetic peaks (solar maximum) before calming again. These cycles are measured through sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, recent data suggests that since around 2008, the Sun’s beh
