The absolute peak of Solar Cycle 25 is expected around July 2025, with about 115 sunspots mid-year. Noaa SWPC recorded a G2 geomagnetic storm on August 9, 2025, and issued G1–G2 watches on multiple days that month. Norway’s Tromsø (69°N), Alta, and the Svalbard archipelago (74–81°N) offer frequent auroras, with best viewing from late September…
