This is awesome. That "bad" also sometimes is good in that Auroral propagation is enhanced and is pretty neat too.
Heres to several more years of great conditions!

The following Cycle 25 update is from K9LA, Carl Luetzelschwab
Cycle 25 is generating many sunspots now, with the southern solar hemisphere
leading the way. If that continues, it may push Cycle 25 up to an average
cycle (like Cycle 23). Regardless of what happens, the higher HF bands (15m,
12m and 10m) should be great for worldwide propagation this fall and winter.
And maybe even some 6m openings via F2, too. These great conditions will
likely continue through 2025 and 2026, when the amount of sunspots falls
below what is needed for worldwide 10m propagation. Of course we have to
take the bad with the good - more solar flares and more CMEs occur around
solar maximum to screw up the ionosphere.
