Solar Cycle 26 Forecasts
Solar Cycle 26 is forecasted to start around March 2031 and reach its maximum around June 2036, lasting until February 2041. The predictions suggest that Solar Cycle 26 will follow a substantial weakening trend in solar activity, similar to the Dalton minimum periods of Solar Cycles 5 and 6.3
Researchers have been tracking solar torsional oscillation signals using helioseismic data from various sources since 1995, which now covers the first four years of Solar Cycles 23, 24, and 25. This data allows them to compare the rising phases of these cycles and predict future trends.2
According to a study published in 2023, the expected solar peaks in terms of SSN (monthly averaged smoothed) for Solar Cycles 25 and 26 are RSSN = 116.6 (February 2025) and RSSN = 113.25 (October 2036), respectively.4
The context provided does not offer detailed forecasts for Solar Cycle 26 beyond the start and peak dates, but it suggests that the current solar minimum is underway and that Cycle 26 will exhibit a similar trend of weakening solar activity.
