December closed a year of significant extreme weather events, with an interesting increase since the Solar Cycle 25 peak officially started in October.

To this point, Solar Cycle 25 with its 191.44 confirmed sunspots will break recent records of activity, even the one of 1954-1958 Solar Cycle 19 with 285 sunspots.

Interestingly enough, Solar Cycle 24, was one of the weakest solar cycles in the last century, with a peak sunspot number of 116.4. This is an unusual activity difference and has sparked interest and research within the scientific community. Some hypotheses suggest that this could be part of a longer-term solar cycle variation or an extended solar minimum with a few peaks before a stark decrease.

Over the years, we have been sharing information about the theory of the Sun's companion, and how this causes fluctuations in solar output, potentially resulting in periods of increased or decreased solar activity. This, in turn, affects the Earth's climate and the behavior of other celestial bodies within the solar system.

As the sun's companion approaches our Star from its 3,600-year orbit, the interaction between the two becomes more intense and dynamic, something that could explain the stark difference between cycles 24 and 25, still with an overall trend of reduced solar activity over a longer period.

Another factor to consider is that the unusually increased activity of solar cycle 25, not only has triggered many electric phenomena such as air spirals - tornadoes, hurricanes, and waterspouts, and sparked earthquakes and volcanic activity, but it can also create shifts in air currents and jet streams, and even trigger large-scale temperature inversions (trapping cooler air near the surface) causing altered weather patterns and atmospheric dynamics.

It is worth highlighting that the widespread fog events reported in the northern hemisphere in the past couple of months could be related to a significant temperature inversion. It's suitable to note that sudden and rapid large-scale temperature inversions can play a pivotal role in the onset of ice ages.

Some still think that the process of natural climate change can take thousands to tens of thousands of years, yet, there's evidence that they can be swift, which could explain events as the flash-freezing of mammoths in Siberia 10, 000 years ago.

We must continue to pay attention to the Sun's activity and prepare accordingly.


Speaking of the Sun, on December 29, the Sun unleashed a powerful X1.1 class solar flare that originated in the northwestern region of the Earth-facing side of the Sun and caused a severe radio blackout over parts of the Earth.

Significant freezing and snowing events this month:
  • Northeast US: A lake-effect snowstorm swept across the region disrupting power and transportation.
  • Colorado mountains: Massive snowstorm, accumulating up to 36 inches of snow over 72 hours.
  • Canada: Record-breaking low temperatures and significant snow accumulation.
  • Malaga, Spain: Mercury dropped to near freezing overnight, plus heavy rainfall and severe flooding along the Costa del Sol.
  • Bosnia: A massive snowstorm swept through Bosnia, leaving tens of thousands of homes without power on Christmas Eve.
  • Kashmir: A massive snowstorm dumped 4 feet of snow in 24 hours, causing major disruptions.
  • New South Wales Alps, and Tasmania: Unusual summer snowfall.
Rain and floods:
  • Singapore: A monsoon surge triggered the heaviest rainfall on record, with 5.2 inches of rain falling in just over 2 hours, causing significant disruptions and damage.
  • Vietnam: 10.2 inches of rain fell within 24 hours triggering deadly landslides and flooding across the country.
  • India: Cyclone Fengal unleashed unprecedented rainfall, with Tamil Nadu witnessing a year's worth of rain in just 36 hours, and Puducherry recording its highest 24-hour rainfall in 30 years.
  • Peru, Ecuador, and Chile: Peru, Ecuador, and Chile: Massive waves of up to 13 feet pounded the coastlines, forcing the closure of nearly 100 ports and causing significant damage to coastal areas.
On December 13, 2024, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck central Chile, with its epicenter located 56 km east-southeast of Molina. The tremors were felt as far away as Santiago, but fortunately, there were no reports of significant damage or injuries.

On December 17, 2024, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck near Port Vila, Vanuatu, causing significant damage and at least 14 deaths. The earthquake, which occurred at a depth of 54.4 km, also generated over 300 aftershocks, the largest of which measured 6.1 on the Richter scale. Buildings were damaged and many residents were left without shelter, prompting urgent requests for international assistance.
