That one caught my attention, too – I was sure I’d been hearing the opposite. Now I know I’m not the only one. *L*

Many forecasters believe Solar Cycle 24 will be big and intense. Peaking in 2011 or 2012, the cycle to come could have significant impacts on telecommunications, air traffic, power grids and GPS systems. (And don’t forget the Northern Lights!) In this age of satellites and cell phones, the next solar cycle could make itself felt as never before.

yet most of the predictions I’ve seen are predicting a weak cycle 24. The NOAA panel last March, for example, didn’t seem to reach any sort of consensus and instead gave high and low scenarios.

I’m not bright enough to know for sure what that means, but I did wonder if the promised warming was finally on its way to the Great Plains.

I think 24 is going to be a cool one.

That solar link you added a few weeks back sure makes it easy to follow the action. I’ve been using it to track that cluster while you were off enjoying AGU. Which we’re sure waiting for a report from.
