Solar minimum coming in 2019-2020.. we're already close..
If flying, radiation is more intense than in a long time.. but some of this radiation is making it down as well..

Within minutes after takeoff from Los Angeles, radiation in the passenger compartment multiplied 25-fold and remained high until we landed again in Brisbane 13 hours later. Peak dose rates were almost 40 times greater than on the ground below. In total, we absorbed a whole body dose approximately equal to a panoramic dental X-ray.https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2018/03/05/the-worsening-cosmic-ray-situation/
