Solar cycle 24 is now approaching minimum in April 2020. The Space Weather Prediction Center is not projecting an extended minimum. The next maximum is expected in July 2025. They're forecasting a weak maximum.

That’s great news. We were on the Garden Thread and I started looking into what might be in store for the temps this coming growing season.
Cooler than normal, so some of us will need to plant shorter-season varieties of heat-loving crops like tomatoes and peppers.
Glad to hear cooler temps are not going to stick around for more than a year or so! :)

Another good website for solar weather information is
SolarHam. Their page has more information on it than you can shake a stick at. Hams keep up with solar activity because of the effect it has on signal propagation.
