Solar Cycle 25 Will Be a Weak-moderate Cycle: an Update

Abstract

Abstract We have previously published several research notes analyzing the solar activity level of current Solar Cycle 25 from the observed sunspot data. pointing out that it exhibits the typical behavior of a weak-moderate cycle. We show in this updated analysis of the solar activity level for Solar Cycle 25 (three year after its beginning) that the current cycle continues being a weak-moderate cycle with values slightly higher than the previous Solar Cycle 24, which was a weak cycle. We also compare the observed sunspot data available until 2023 June with the prediction made by the Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel. As conclusion, it seems likely that Solar Cycle 25 will continue to be a weak-moderate one.
