"The Sun’s output is not constant, despite what the IPCC would have you believe — its emissions are modulated by its planets (namely conjunctions of Saturn, Jupiter, Earth and Venus) due to the interacting gravitational effects, and also by internal mechanisms.

Activity has been historically low over the past few years, and its output is expected to sink even further a we progress into Solar Cycles 25 and 26.

... Here is the latest GFS temperature departure run for April 14 to April 30:

... Once again, polar cold is riding anomalously-far south on the back of a weak and wavy meridional jet stream flow — a phenomenon expected –and proven– to increase during times of low solar activity, such as the historically low output we’ve been experiencing over the past few years.

Between 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Sun suffered a total of 710 spotless days.

Sunspots are a great barometer for solar activity, and to find a solar minimum with more spotless days (aka fewer sunspots) you have to go all the way back to the early-1900s (the “Centennial Minimum”),

and before that, the early-1800s (the “Dalton Minimum”).

The year’s 2018-2019-2020 were a century-class Solar Minimum; solar flares were rare, geomagnetic storms almost non-existent, and Earth’s atmosphere had begun to cool–so much so in fact, that by late-2020 it had all-but reversed the past few decades of natural global warming brought-about by historically high solar output.

That cooling trend has only intensified into 2021, and while the next Solar Cycle (SC25) has shown unmistakable signs of life, it has been slow to get going.

The Sun has been “blank” (devoid of sunspots) for long periods (41 days as of April 14), right at a time when all systems should be firing us into the ramp-up to solar maximum (due around 2025).

In short, the historically weak minimum of cycle 24 is reluctant to release its icy grip.


... In other news, the Songhua River has frozen in China.

Disaster News on YouTube has described the phenomenon as an “Incredible event!”

“The Songhua River generally freezes in November each year, but this time it freezes in April!”

As reported by bigislandvideonews.com, a fresh coat of snow covered the Hawaiʻi island summits of Maunakea and Mauna Loa volcanoes on Monday morning (April 12).

The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Big Island summits on Sunday, as well as Haleakala on Maui —

and as of Sunday evening, the access road to the summit of Maunakea was closed to the public above the Visitor Information Station “due to fog, (snow) flurries and below freezing temperatures.”

... The COLD TIMES are returning (with) historically low solar activity ...

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s,

and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here."
