According to Spaceweather:

“RETURN TO QUIET: A new-cycle sunspot that unleashed a flurry of solar flares on May 29th has disintegrated—so quickly that it didn’t even have time to be officially numbered. Solar Minimum is back.”

This is like telling a drought stricken land that a sprinkle occurred 1000 miles up stream. So what.

Once the sun spit activity begins in earnest, which is not expected till around 2031 (SC 25), it will take a bit if time (thermal inertia and lag time,)to begin to add energy to our planet.

We will see cooling for quite some time, and then a gradual increase in door energy. Iow, cooler climate will be on tap for a decade or more AFTER Sun spot activity ramps up.

A burp is not a ride change.

Invest in warm clothes and such. You can always take some off. More if you’re in good shape, no one wants to see blubber etc.

Shouldn't that be in bad shape?
