Solar maximum is here! G2 storm watch and X-flare!
Our Sun has been very busy the past few weeks and we have now reached the highest official monthly mean sunspot number in 23 years during the month of July! We landed on a whopping 196.5 and August thus far averages an incredible monthly mean sunspot number of 222.3! Is this going to be solar maximum when we look back at Solar Cycle 25 in the coming years? It seems likely!
