The chart below shows how at the end of 2018, we are very much in the Sunspot minimum of the 11 year cycle.
There is some talk about the next solar cycle starting but the chart above suggests that we may have some way to go yet before things pick up. As you can see from the end of the last cycle, the sunspot numbers remain at very low levels for 2-3 years before they increase again.
It may well be another two years before conditions really improve. 2020? 2021?

The way things look, the sunspot numbers could go negative 🙃
