Title: Smallest sunspot cycle in about 100 years
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on May 11, 2012, 1829 UTC

The current prediction for Sunspot Cycle 24 gives a smoothed sunspot number maximum of about 60 in the Spring of 2013. We are currently over three years into Cycle 24. The current predicted size makes this the smallest sunspot cycle in about 100 years...

Better put the 10 meter guys on suicide watch.
