Transitioning to Solar Minimum: What You Need to Know

Good evening. I haven’t discussed the Grand Solar Minimum in a while and wanted to update you. We have hit the solar maximum and are transitioning into solar minimum once again for solar cycle 25. If you do not understand what I mean by Grand Solar Minimum, you can read more about it here. If this was a normal solar cycle, we would still be transitioning to a maximum. However, since we are in a Grand Solar Minimum, we have already hit the maximum. Now, the sun is going back to sleep, and soon we will have days of spotless activity.

Why is this event so important to talk about? I am glad that you asked. If you have followed my Facebook page for any length of time, you have seen several topics. These topics are posted on the activities of our Sun. Contrary to popular belief, the Sun has a significant impact on our planet’s climate. Man has very little impact on our planet. However, that does not mean we should take advantage of what God has given us and waste it. We should be good stewards of this planet we call the Earth. There are certain groups are taking advantage of this event to push certain agendas. In addition, natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are also influenced. If you doubt this, you should do your own research. You will soon realize that the truth of what is going on comes from our Sun.

Our Nation has already seen some pretty cold temperatures and significant snow falls. Yes, even areas far south, that are normally pretty warm, have been affected. On January 22, Baton Rouge, LA, made it to 7 degrees!

This is only the beginning. Grand Solar Minimum and the lack of Sun activity will cause longer, harsher winters, wetter weather. The sun’s total solar irradiance peaks are on a decline and in combination with the milankovitch cycle.

Milankovitch cycles are periodic changes in the orbital characteristics of a planet. These changes control how much sunlight it receives. Thus, they affect its climate and habitability. This can and will add to our colder temperature shifts. A certain group of people love to say that this has nothing to do with our planet. However, in reality, it has everything to do with our planet.

When will the Grand Solar Minimum Peak?

The Grand Solar Minimum looks to peak by mid-year 2030. Since the forecast is so far out, it could shift later. Some say that the peak may occur as late as 2035. TSI or Total Solar Radiance is on it’s way down as well.

I will continue to post more information about this event, which will have significant impacts on our climate. Please consider subscribing to my blog so you can receive direct emails about my posts.
