The latest solar numbers have been published and these still think we are at the minimum. Time will tell. If we are at the minimum, conditions should be not as bad this time next year. It usually takes several years to climb to the next peak.
See www.solen.info/solar .
"As of September 2018 the strength of the polar fields hints at a cycle 25 with a
magnitude slightly stronger than that of cycle 24." From the site linked above. We live in hope!
Another site (NOAA) seems to suggest we have a lot longer to endure! Maybe all of 2019 at least.
