The New Solar Cycle Prediction came out today here [link to solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov]
"The current prediction for Sunspot Cycle 24 gives a smoothed sunspot number maximum of about 75 in the Fall of 2013. The smoothed sunspot number (for 2012/02) is already nearly 67 due to the strong peak in late 2011 so the official maximum will be at least this high. We are currently well over three years into Cycle 24. The current predicted and observed size makes this the smallest sunspot cycle since Cycle 14 which had a maximum of 64.2 in February of 1906..."

To see just how low it is, see this chart [link to satdat.ngdc.noaa.gov]
That article the other day "Solar maximum? Oh, you just missed it" here [link to www.newscientist.com] was talking with Richard Altrock, who was also one of the ones in this article last year "Sun's Fading Spots Signal Big Drop in Solar Activity" [link to www.space.com]

Looks like even quieter times ahead, it's already been quieter than even I predicted a couple years ago. I'm starting to think we may not get that second higher spike upwards a lot of people are waiting for. Oh well.
