HOW DOES THE SOLAR CYCLE AFFECT WEATHER?

PLUS FORECASTS FOR SOLAR MINIMUMS AND MAXIMUMS

Here at the Almanac, we have long believed that the Sun’s weather cycles—called “solar cycles” or “sunspot cycles”—influence weather patterns here on Earth. What causes a solar cycle? What is the current solar cycle? Are we in a solar minimum or maximum? Get the update on your Sun!

Subsurface meridional flow maps show the next solar cycle ramping up within the sun's interior before it manifests itself through surface activity.

Meridional circulation can also be inferred using the ring-diagram analysis technique (Hill, 1988). Since the upgrade of the GONG instrument in 2001, the higher resolution of the Dopplergrams has allowed for the application of this technique. GONG calculates horizontal subsurface flows on a daily basis.

Yeah, yeah we know.
Waning moon and other such nonsense.

More persistent quackery that we can do without.
