| #6 Yeah, that article is so hopeful that we're going to come out of the minimum...but the truth is I suspect this cycle to be very weak. They kept saying a Grand Minimum was ruled out but I'm not so sure. |

| #5 Based on sunspot polarity, Cycle 25 has already started but is still very weak. Currently zero sunspots for the last 30 days. 2020 has been spotless 79% of the time so far. (Thanks to spaceweather.com for the deets) |
