All the matter is that we enter a new cycle of solar activity which is designated as the 25th cycle of solar activity.
The last 11 years we were in the end of the 24th eleven-year cycle (counting since 1755) which was followed the last 4 years by recession of solar activity. Because of it the quantity of geomagnetic storms and polar light fell (a polar light arises generally at the expense of coronal holes now in the Sun which completely do not disappear even during a minimum of a solar cycle).

The first area of magnetic field of other orientation was registered in the Sun on November 8 and existed about a day that assumed an opportunity that it is accident.
Possible magnetic fields of a new 25th solar cycle. The photo is received by the HMI telescope on the SDO satellite of 08.11.2018.
Further in the Sun on December 5 unexpectedly there was a small group of spots to which assigned number 2729
If the activity of a cycle develops quickly, in the second half of 2019 there can already come the following 25th cycle of solar activity which will last about 11 years. In the Sun there will be spots again and the number of flashes will increase. It will provoke growth of geomagnetic storms and POLAR LIGHTS on the earth!
What consequences can be?
Despite such forecasts, there are several scenarios of development of future cycle. Conclusions can be drawn after the first months of solar activity.
However, some of these scenarios assume the beginning of a new Maunderovsky minimum
What is Maunderovsky minimum and what it is dangerous by?
Maunderovsky minimum – freezing of mechanisms of solar cycles for decades.
Maunder’s minimum in the 400-year history of observation of solar spots
If it occurs, then the Sun most likely will plunge in over a long minimum of activity. In the history of mankind something similar already happened. For example, from 1310 to 1370 and from 1645 to 1715. In those days the quantity of solar spots decreased in one thousand times in comparison with “usual” years.!!! And Earth was covered by so-called small Ice Ages. According to chroniclers, in Europe the Thames and Seine froze, snow dropped out even in the south of Italy!!
The frozen Thames, Abraham Hondius (1677)
How falling of solar activity is reflected in weather and climate?
Falling of solar activity reduces intensity of evaporation, leads to droughts, increase in quantity of extreme weather events and unpredictability of weather and. etc. All this leads to increase in damage from extreme weather events (of course, weather and climate are influenced by not only solar activity, but also other factors).
The fact that, infrastructure, especially everything, as for agriculture, is not ready to such changes guards. At the same time both economy and society in general. In this regard both ordinary inhabitants, and various industries need to adapt and adapt to such changes which in the future, perhaps, will be only more.
