This peak of activity is expected to last for another year, according to NASA.

We can expect additional aurora displays and potentially more impacts to technology over the next year or two, according to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Experts have announced that the Sun has reached its solar maximum period, which could continue for the next year. Scientists will not be able to determine the exact peak of this solar maximum period for many months because it's only identifiable after they've tracked a consistent decline in solar activity after that peak.
