NASA, NOAA confirm Sun reaches Solar Maximum phase

Scientists at NASA and NOAA announced that the Sun has reached a period of peak activity in an 11-year cycle known as the Solar Maximum. However, periods of active space weather could continue into the next year because the Solar Maximum does not have an exact beginning and end. Shawn Dahl, Service Coordinator at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, joins FOX Weather to explain what to expect now that the Sun has reached its Solar Maximum phase.
