Prediction of the solar activity

The following diagram shows an outlook on the solar activity during the next months. Three methods to predict the activity are displayed: The "SIDC Standard curves (SC)", the "McNish&Lincoln method (ML)", and the "Combined method (CM)" (Source:SIDC).

The NOAA forecast shows the activity during the entire solar cycle 25. The following diagram shows the predicted monthly values up to the year 2040 (Source:SWPC NOAA).
