2025 Solar activity: How solar flares and geomagnetic storms could disrupt earth

India TV News  

The sun’s activity is set to remain intense throughout 2025, marking the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 25. While the cycle’s peak hasn’t been officially pinpointed, recent data reveals that Solar Cycle 25 has already surpassed the peak activity of Solar Cycle 24 in 2014. Key Events and Impacts in 2025 The heightened solar activity during the solar maximum could result in significant events: Geomagnetic storms are likely to disrupt satellite-based services, power grids, and navigation systems. Looking ahead As scientists continue monitoring the sun with missions like the ESA’s Solar Orbiter, they remain prepared for both the opportunities and challenges that come with an active solar cycle.
