I believe if anything we'll be hit by a solar flare when our magnetic field is at it's weakest point... Our Earth's magnetic field is actually reversing currently from north to south. Those magnetic fields are actually what protect us from the sun's harmful rays. At the halfway point, I think it's safe to say that our magnetic field cancels out or becomes fairly weak until it's fully reversed.
The reason why we have Northern Lights? Our magnetic fields protecting us from sun's harmful rays...
Based on history, we're actually overdue for this change to happen.
