Over your study of such sun spot trends etc . . . .
How's the current phenomena compare with historical averages.
What are the learned explanations? Predictions?
Any implications regarding El Nino?
Why do these things pop up like this?
I don't think anyone knows how to predict them or what causes the sudden activity.
I think there are effects on the weather and a good portion of global warming is due to increased sunspot activity ovr the last hundred years as the warming has been confirmed on mars recently. no suv's there to my knowledge.
this spate of activity is not terribly unusual other than it seems to be occurring rather suddenly. i;ve seen occassions in the past where the same type of activity has occurred.
I usually get very happy when I see it because it means auroras, I don't think it's cause for alarm.
sit back and enjoy!!
