We will be on the event horizon of a mini ice age by the year 2030, the Telegraph reports. 

In just 15 short years, scientists have predicted Earth will start experiencing extreme weather events during the winters that will bring about bitterly cold temperatures and could cause some rivers to freeze over.

A new model has been created by solar researchers at the University of Northumbria that gives off eerie predictions for the planet. The expectation, according to these models, is that our sun will be undergoing some changes with its fluid activity.

This solar activity will change by as much as 60 percent when two waves of fluid start occurring on the sun. They will essentially cancel each other out, but the effect it will have on planet Earth will be experienced nevertheless.

Conditions such as these were experienced in the 17th century, according to researcher professor Valentina Zharkova. This was documented in England when the statesmen of the time would hold festivals over the River Thames when it was frozen over.

The cycle will force the unprecedented cold wave on the planet and will be the harshest during winter when solar activity will be less productive for the Earth's biology.

"Over the cycle, the waves fluctuate between the northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun," Zharkova announced. "Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97 percent."

With this new model, they were able to make the predictions for what biological Earth inhabitants may experience in the year 2030.

"When they are out of phase, we have solar minimums. When there is full phase separation, we have the conditions last seen during the Maunder minimum, 370 years ago," Zharkova said.

The Washington Times reports the research and model report were made available in Europe at the National Astronomy Meeting 2015, which took place in Wales.
