Kevin, When I was a kid walking with my grampa on a beautifully sunny day between the rows of cornstalks in his backyard, often he'd turn to me and say, in Spanish, "It's gonna rain." I would ask him how he knew that, and he would point to his knees. His joints apparently could tell him that things weren't quite right.
Before my Dad died last year, he had told me, "Something is wrong with these sunspots. They aren't normal," and darned if he doesn't seem to have been right. Maybe it was his joints, but these sunspots just don't seem to have the oomph that they should. There are plenty of sunspots visible right now, but they can't kick up the solar flux to save their lives. In fact, the sunspot number has been nearly equal to the solar flux, which is highly unusual.
