We get a maxima in solar storm activity. This can cause solar flares that can knock out satellites. They can even mess with power transmission lines, if they hit hard enough.
So it won’t affect you, if you don’t use power, or data via satellite.

This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle.
How does it affect us?
It doesn’t.
