Certainly looks as though July 2008 was the absolute minimum in terms of solar fux, with December 2001 being the maximum of solar cycle 23, that points to the maximum being in late 2014/early 2015 if the cycle holds.

Well here are Nasa's predictions as of 4/1/2010, they are expecting the peek in 3 years time.

Interestingly, here are the predictions Nasa made in October 2006, spot the difference! :whistling:

M2 Flare on 19/20 Jan, largest for over 2 years. Cycle 24 starting in earnest now, expect more activity from here on. Agree though that it will be a quiet cycle with quieter to follow. Incredible downgrading by NASA I must say.

The flux has dropped to 73 today, that must be the lowest for a few months?

Could we be on the verge of another period of blank suns?

Probably not, but one can hope.

this is very intresting during the lowest point of the activity a year or more ago the lowest flux was 64 now where down to 73 for the highest 93 intresting and rather exciting.:nonono:

What will it take to have another spotless day? Just as I thought we would have no more spots for a while, a new one formed!

:shok: indeed.

Is it a new spot or just the old ones coming round into view again, a couple of spotless days were due as they went behind the sun. I think it was 1041 thats been going for ages now? http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

Actually its 1040 thats been going for some time and the new one is 1043, although looking relatively quiet none the less.

Very interesting stuff here from David Archibald. Note the prediction for temperature over the predicted length of cycle 24 (2009-2021). As he says.......it could be that the decline has already started.

Exciting, innit?! :rolleyes:

That is very very interesting. Would be good to see how it pans out over this next year & if it stays in tandem with cycle5.

This will be fascinating to follow, any takers going for lower than cycle 5 then? :diablo:

I would be happy to see it stay in tandem with cycle5, but would love to see it go even lower. Certainly do not wish to see it ramp up.

This is from October last year so apologies if you've all seen it before.

Hathaway predicting cycle 24 will be half the strength of the last 3 - 4 cycles but also admitting his instinct says it could be even smaller still.

The Italian site "New Ice age" has an expert on there called ALE, seems very highly regarded on there, anyone ever heard of him? Well he seems to think that the sun is already showing signs of what he considers peak activity for cycle 24, in other words that we won't see much, if any in the way of mega activity in the next 2 or 3 years and it will just carry on like it has in January more or less. I'm trying to find out more about this guy at the moment.

Thats a major turnaround, in 2006 he was predicting the cycle 24 would be the most intense since records began 400 years ago! Scientists for you ay!

He also said 25 would be very quiet, are we looking at a prolonged period of low Solar output? Dalton, Maunder proportions????

Questions, questions, questions, oh for a time machine.

Well it might give us more insight into the proportion of warming/cooling is as a result of Solar output. Personally, I haven't got much further than thinking of old style snow drifts and Dickensian Christmas's :whistling:

OMG, thats exactly what I keep thinking about. :D

Big snow dfifts up my road, skiing to work, Mid Dec-Mid Feb will do just nice!

The sun remains very quite I see, with just that one insy bitsy spot and a solar flux of mmmm, lets see, 73?
