According to the search results, the Sun is currently experiencing increased activity, including solar flares and sunspots. The solar cycle is moving towards its peak, which is expected to occur in 2024 or 2025. In September and October 2023, there have been reports of moderate to strong solar flares, including an M flare and an X1.0 flare. The increased activity can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts. However, the current cycle is not considered remarkable from the Suns point of view, but it is from our point of view, as we become more dependent on technology.
