    I'm sorry I don't follow this as closely as u guys can u explain this please.

    hi, if sunspotless days continue up until december 15th, then we will have equaled the amount of sunspotless days that occured in the previous solar cycle 23, during the year 2008. 2008 reached a maximum of 268 sunspotless days, and we are on course to match and even surpass that number given that we have 16 more days left of december 2019. In solar maximum periods, sunspots are plentiful and can give minor and major flares and given the strength an if the flare hits earth directly, it can be troublesome for our electrical infrastructure.

    hope this helps

    THE SOLAR WIND HAS ARRIVED: Earth is entering a stream of solar wind flowing from a sprawling hole in the sun's atmosphere. First contact with the gaseous material on Nov. 20th produced an outburst of auroras over Scandinavia. Markus Varik sends this picture from Tromsø, Norway:

    Tomorrow likely to the 600th spotless day of the minimum. 

    Still a way to go to beat the 801 days from SC23/24 transition, but not completely out of the question given how few sunspots have been on offer during the second half of this year.

    should surpass it by this time next year.

    Yeah, as mentioned previously reverse polarity SS's based on prevailing cycle are not unusual. Some of it, I understand an indicator is which hemisphere and latitude within that hemisphere. I think. 

    yes indicators that solar cycle 25 is getting ready to rev up. an analogy: it takes a year to 18 months to get ready for a marathon. solar cycle 25 might not get going until april or possibly september, its anyones guess, but 2020 could have a big sunspotless count.
