A hidden “switch-off” signal could predict solar storms seven years early

Scientists have discovered a new forecasting technique that can predict the strength of the Sun's next activity cycle up to seven years in advance.

Initial estimates suggest that Solar Cycle 26 could be moderate, comparable to the current cycle. Researchers expect to refine these predictions in about two years when they can base their forecasts on direct observations.
