2012 or 2014?

``The properties of the current “Rush to the Poles” yields an estimate of 2013 or 2014 for solar maximum.''

Taken from ``The Progress of Solar Cycle 24 at High Latitudes.''

Maybe the Maya were wrong by a year.

The present solar cycle has been anomalous, as you can read in that article.

The graph from the article shows the Rush to the Poles phenomenon, for four solar cycles. The last one, Cycle 24, is going a little slower than previous ones.

Conclusion:

``Analysis of the “Rush to the Poles” indicates that solar maximum will occur in 2013 or 2014, but there is no indication of the strength of the maximum. There is at this time no confirmation of this prediction from the southern hemisphere.''
