==Predictions== Predictions of a future maximum's timing and strength are very difficult; predictions vary widely. There was a solar maximum in 2000. In 2006, [[NASA]] initially expected a solar maximum in 2010 or 2011, and thought that it could be the strongest since [[Solar cycle 19|1958]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060617195525/http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/10mar_stormwarning.htm?list862664 "Solar Storm Warning"], Science@NASA'', 10 March 2006, Accessed 26 Mar. 2010</ref> However, the solar maximum was not declared to have occurred until 2014, and even then was ranked among the weakest on record.<ref name="solarminimax">{{cite web| url=https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2014/10jun_solarminimax |title=Solar Mini-Max |access-date=2014-12-24 |publisher=NASA}}</ref>
