The eleven-year solar cycle is actually twenty-two years. Halfway through, the magnetism of the sunspots reverses.

I have books about radio electronics from the 1930's to the 1950's that claim there could be a 22 year cycle theory too.

"Twenty-two year cycle"

I have noticed that when there is a particularly severe drought, the whether people are likely to talk about "the worst in 22 years", and sometimes about the sun spot cycles.

When I took Astronomy in 1959, there was also talk of a larger 88 year cycle. Now let's see, 1929 plus 88 equals 2017. We are having major droughts in the west and Texas. Perhaps this is a warmup for what will happen in 11 years; another Dust Bowl??
