Poor babies.
This is the ‘last chance’ before the next meeting ... which will be the next ‘last chance’...
And so on...
Also note that the sunspot “peak” around 2013 was relatively weak also, most peaks well over 100 on that scale in the late 20th century. There was some decline with the 1999-2001 peak and a further decline with this last one. We are in a very similar position to about 1820 during the Dalton minimum now (after the 1801 moderate and 1816 weak peaks).
The Dalton produced a long quiet period in the early 1820s and another weak peak in 1829-30. Then the Sun woke up and had a few strong peaks in 1838, 1848, 1860 (that one had the Carrington event in September 1859), and 1870.
Another weaker period included peaks of 1883, 1893 and 1905-07. After that downturn, it was raging high solar activity throughout the 20th century.
So it seems like the Sun likes to nap about once every century. The one previous to the Dalton was more like a day in bed, the Maunder minimum (roughly 1660 to 1710).
Personally I don’t think it’s going to turn all that much colder in this next decade or two because the natural cooling will be fighting the warm signal from greenhouse gases. This may just make things more average than the predictions have suggested.
