I thought there was one Cycle 24 sunspot in early December: based on a mid-latitude position and a reversed polarity.
But - Just as one cold winter doesn’t make an Ice Age, just one reversed cycle sunspot - now over 9 months late! - only indicates that the next cycle hasn’t really started yet.
It’s now almost March. NASA’s predictions are looking worse and worse; but many still “want” a very high, very fast-starting Cycle 24 and 25.
I’ve been googling all afternoon and it’s getting quite frustrating; it seems almost like information is being embargoed or just made unavailable.
