Solar flares may resume around the New Year holidays
After approximately two weeks of calm, solar flare activity appears to be resuming. Over the past few days, two large active regions have been gradually and leisurely emerging into the line of sight from Earth on the left (eastern) edge of the sun, detectable by bright magnetic loops rising above the horizon.
The quality of incoming solar wind data will likely improve only in the spring of 2026, after the new SWFO-L1 spacecraft begins operations.
For those tired of seeing gaps and interruptions in incoming solar wind data, there's little good news at the moment. The world's leading spacecraft, DSCOVR, which has served as the primary source of data in recent years, failed due to a software glitch back in July of this year.
The number of days with magnetic storms in 2025 has reached its highest level in 10 years.
The number of days with magnetic storms and the total number of geomagnetically disturbed days in 2025 significantly exceeded last year\'s figures and became one of the highest in the past two decades. Over the 358 days since the beginning of the year, magnetic storms have been observed in 69 cases, compared to 44 cases in 2024.
