Solar wind is always flowing from the Sun and towards Earth but coronal holes are known for releasing enhanced solar wind. Coronal holes can develop anywhere on the sun and are more common during solar minimum.

I do believe they got this backward.

Unlike sunspots, coronal holes are only visible in the ultraviolet and don’t determine solar minimum or maximum. They are, however, more likely to happen on the sun’s equator during solar minimum which affects earth to a greater degree.
