Solar Maximum 2025 is the expected peak of solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, characterized by heightened sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. This peak is anticipated around mid to late 2025,

The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar Physics have captured footage showing intense solar flare activity, coinciding with heat waves sweeping across various regions around the world.

Higher solar activity brings more radiation, which can damage satellite electronics and force some satellites to deorbit

Experts have advised people to monitor reliable sources like NASA and NOAA for updates on solar activity and space weather.

The clingy planet orbits so close to its star, it triggers powerful explosions of radiation that eat away at its atmosphere.

The Met Office said solar activity is expected to increase to 'Unsettled to Active' with 'G1/Minor Storm (Kp5) intervals' on July 2 and 3 on Day 1 into Day 2 (02-03 Jul), and a Slight Chance of G2/Moderate Storm (Kp6). That means there is a possibility of seeing Northern Lights.
