Explainer: What is Sun’s ‘hurricane season’ that is set to begin soon?


Just like monsoon, hurricane, cyclone seasons and other weather patterns on Earth, a solar ‘hurricane season’ is about to begin 93 million miles away from Earth. The sunspot activity during solar storms on the sun’s surface is set to increase. Linked to these solar storms, sunspots are a temporary phenomenon where spots on the sun’s surface appear darker. During solar storms, most solar flares and CMEs are ejected from sunspots or a region of sunspots. During these times, the frequency of sunspot appearance and eruption on the sun’s surface increases.
