Solar Maximum

The sun’s magnetic field is expected to flip in the next three to four months and it could lead to changes in our climate, storms, and disruptions to satellites, which, trust me, would not be good. This solar event only happens once every 11 years and signals what physicists call the Solar Maximum - a time when the Sun's solar activity is at its highest. During this peak in activity the outbursts of solar energy can increase the amount of sun rays going towards Earth and this can interfere with radio communications and cause solar bursts of light which are known as flares. It can also affect the earth's temperature.
