A decrease in solar activity is predicted in the next two years, associated with the completion of the peak activity of the 11-year solar cycle, said Yegor Konyaev, an engineer at the Vega Observatory of Novosibirsk State University (NSU).

According to him, the aurora borealis in various cities this week was noticed due to the coronal mass ejection on the Sun on April 13.
The peak of activity of the 11-year solar cycle has already passed, so in the next year or two, the beginning of a decrease in solar activity is expected.
Konyaev explained that the number of solar flares and spots will decrease, and, accordingly, auroras and magnetic storms. However, the probability of such astronomical events still remains.
