during what months do solar flares occur the most
Solar Flares: Solar Maximum Expected To Occur In May. Solar flares have been predicted to be stronger in 2013 due to the Sun reaching the peak of its 11-year cycle. A scientific panel recently noted that the Sun is currently experiencing its âdeepest minimumâ in almost 100 years. The researchers also indicated that the next solar maximum may occur in May. If expectations are accurate, solar flares which are weak now, could intensify as we head closer toward the summer months. So far in 2013, solar activity has remained relatively low, PHYS.org News reports.
