The current #SolarCycle25 started in 
2019. It is not expected to end for another six years but the first signs that the next #SolarCycle is beginning have been spotted by researchers from the University of #Birmingham and presented at the @royalastrosoc National #Astronomy Meeting in Hull. "We're likely seeing the first traces of Cycle 26, which won't officially start until about 2030." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/07/240719123850.htm

This existing cycle is now at its peak, or 'solar maximum' -- which is when the Sun's magnetic field flips and its poles swap places -- until mid-2025.
