Solar activity and solar wind parameters decreased significantly in solar cycles (SCs) 23–24. In this paper, we analyze solar wind measurements at the rising phase of SC 25 and compare them with similar data from the previous cycles. For this purpose, we simultaneously selected the OMNI database data for 1976–2022, both by phases of the 11-year solar cycle and by large-scale solar wind types (in accordance with catalog [http://www.iki.rssi.ru/pub/omni]), and calculated the mean values of the plasma and magnetic field parameters for the selected datasets. The obtained results support the hypothesis that the continuation of this cycle will be similar to that of cycle 24, i.e. SC 25 will be weaker than SCs 21 and 22.
