We present a study of the evolution of two types of coronal holes (CHs) in the solar minimum of 24/25, which was preceded by a prolonged minimum of 23/24 and a weak 24 solar cycle. The goal of the study is to clarify whether the behavior of CHs during this period is also unusual? The study is based on the material of observations obtained by SDO/AIA/193. The Heliophysics Events Knowledgebase was used to localize the CHs and calculate their areas. Analysis of the evolution of the areas of polar and non-polar CHs in solar minimum 24/25 revealed a number of features. The hemispheric asymmetry is evident both in solar activity indices and in the localization of maxima of polar and non-polar CH areas. The hemispheric area imbalance is minimal for polar CHs and pronounced in the regions of non-polar CHs and sunspots. This is consistent with the general concept of polar CHs as the main source of the Sun’s dipole magnetic field. The areas of polar CHs significantly exceed the areas of non-polar CHs and make a significant contribution to the total area of all CHs in the solar disk. It is concluded that the dynamics of polar and nonpolar CHs suggests that the 24/25 minimum is rather close to earlier minima than to the 23/24 minimum.
