Old Farmer's Almanace ~ A Quiet Sun, A Cold Winter
Posted at 1:09 PM on Nov. 5, 2009
A Quiet Sun, a Cold Winter
 The Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a colder-than-normal winter. One contributing factor is sunspots—or the lack of them!
This year and next, sunspot activity will be very, very light. Whenever this phenomenon has occurred in the past, the result has been a cooling influence on Earth. Solar experts believe that the Sun will remain calm for another year.
See sunspot activity for 2009.
 Robert B. Thomas, who founded this Almanac in 1792, believed that weather on Earth was influenced by sunspots and solar radiation. Sunspots are magnetic storms on the surface of the Sun. Click here to read “What Are Sunspots?”
 To this day, the Almanac uses three disciplines to predict the weather: meteorology, climatology, and solar activity. (See How We Predict the Weather.)
If you’re interested in learning more about the Sun’s effect on our climate, read “The Influence of Solar Activity on the Weather.”
