- October 2013 Sunspots: Largest jump in Solar cycle 24 so far Tue, 5 Nov 13, 2:04amLooks like a double peak for cycle 24 is forming As many WUWT readers have noted in comments, October 2013 has been significantly more active than the previous several months, and we have not seen this level of activity since...

- September doldrums – solar slump continues Tue, 8 Oct 13, 2:59amWhile many science related government agencies are shut down (NASA GISS is deemed ‘non-essential’ for example) some remain open due to statements like this: Due to the Federal Government shutdown, NOAA.gov and...
- Current solar cycle data seems to be past the peak Wed, 10 Apr 13, 2:57amThe NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center has updated their monthly graph set and it appears as if the slow downside from what looks like the solar max for cycle 24...
- February solar data shows the Sun to still be slumping – but NASA says ‘twin peaks’ may happen Wed, 6 Mar 13, 11:30pmThe data from SWPC is in, and it is lethargic at best. Sunspot numbers took a hit, down to about 42, a delta of ~50 lower compared to the red prediction line. 10.7 cm solar radio flux took a similar … Continue reading...
- Update on Solar Cycle 24 – Hathaway’s latest predictions show smallest sunspot cycle since 1906 Wed, 6 Feb 13, 12:49amThe sun is currently showing two significant spots, though activity is generally quiet. Current SSN is 30, and Sunspot AR1667 (on the left) is in decay, and it is no longer crackling with C-class solar flares. Credit: SDO/HMI...
- Our current solar cycle 24 – still in a slump – solar max reached? Tue, 11 Dec 12, 6:00amHave we hit solar max? NOAA’s SWPC recently updated their solar metrics graphs, and it seems to me like we may have topped out for solar cycle 24...

- The sun – still slumping Tue, 4 Sep 12, 12:20amThe latest solar cycle update graphs have been released by the NOAA SWPC today, and the anemic cycle 24 continues: The current count isn’t keeping up with the prediction line in red...
- Solar cycle update for April – sun still slumping Thu, 10 May 12, 8:30pmGot a bit sidetracked earlier in the month, this is overdue for an update. Earlier we reported that Hathaway had updated his solar cycle prediction saying “…the predicted size makes this the smallest sunspot cycle...
- Whole lotta watts added to the atmosphere Fri, 23 Mar 12, 4:26pmI loved the way James Russell described CO2 molecules as “natural thermostats” Solar Storm Dumps Gigawatts into Earth’s Upper Atmosphere A recent flurry of eruptions on the sun did more than spark pretty...
- NOAA: Strong Solar Eruption; Earth-Directed CME Likely Wed, 7 Mar 12, 1:40pmAn X-5 class solar flare just occurred from region 1429, the large active sunspot group seen below. NOAA Bulletin from the Space Weather Prediction Center: 2012-03-07 01:03 Strong Solar Eruption; Earth-Directed CME Likely...
- The sun is still in a funk: sunspot numbers are dropping when they should be rising Fri, 2 Mar 12, 7:01pmThe sunspot number for February from SIDC is down again, to 33.1 Here’s the source of that data: http://sidc.oma.be/DATA/monthssn.dat So far, cycle 24 is significantly lower in SSN number that the last three cycles,...
- Biggest solar storm since 2005 Wed, 25 Jan 12, 11:28amIt is being called by WaPo “The Biggest solar storm since 2005“. The sun erupted late on January 22nd, 2012 with an M8.7 class flare. The Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the flare as seen below. From NASA:...
- Big jumps in September solar activity metrics Wed, 5 Oct 11, 9:01pmNOAA’s Space weather prediction center released their solar cycle progression updates, and it shows one of the largest jumps for all common solar metrics since cycle 24 began...
