An analysis of the solar activity indices (the Wolf number, the 2800 MHz radio flux, and the coronal index CI) during the minima of cycles 19-20, 20-21 and 21-22 has been carried out. It is evident that the variation pattern of these indices during the last minimum was different in comparison with the previous minima, mainly as far as CI is concerned. The mentioned changes include the magnitude of their values and the period from minimum to the systematic increase of their values: observed values increased and the period decreased from about 1.5 to 0.5 years. The possibility that the pattern of solar activity indices over the minimum might predict the subsequent cycle pattern has not been excluded. The high geomagnetic activity in February 1986 was the result of the flare activity and higher particle density in the corona above an active region, rather than a manifestation of the coronal holes themselves.
