Notice the coming solar minimum of solar cycle 25 has been highly unpredictable as shown by the fact that it does not follow two major scientific predictions (SC and CM) but is exhibiting a very sharp decline of its own.
Comparing the two cycles one year apart, April 1, 2017 to April 1, 2018, shows a steep decline in this solar minimum.
Also look at the CM prediction favored by Belgium in April 2017 for Jan. 2018 (EISN of 30), and then notice how that prediction was a huge fail as the Jan. 2018 ISN was only 6.7. This is a difference of 23.3. Belgium does not think that this solar minimum will be very deep. Even the Standard Curve (SC) prediction is not trustworthy.

Finally, compare the latest July 2, 2018 CM prediction, showing that this solar minimum will gradually end sometime after July 2019 with a rapid increase in sunspot numbers.
