Maestrobjwa Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/news/view/411/20200531-have-we-passed-solar-minimum Well...this article offers the theory that we may have hit the solar minimum back in December, saying: "What can we take away from this? First of all if we take a look at the smoothed sunspot number, we first have to take a look at the sunspot number for each individual month. We can see here and on the image below that we had very low sunspot numbers between June and December of 2019. In January and April of this year the sunspot numbers were considerably higher. Based on the data available right now, we can estimate that December 2019 could have been the month of solar minimum. The graph of the Sun's polar magnetic field strength only fuels this theory as we could see earlier in this post how the sun's polar magnetic field strength has been dropping during the past few months indicating Solar Cycle 25 like already has begun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 OK, I got my numbers together, here we go, May 2020.... Averaged high for month was 67.7 degrees vs the 74.4 degree average, a -6.7 below normal AND a new record 'low max' for the month, breaking 2003's 69.5 degree reading by a good bit. The warmest temp recorded was 83.1 degrees on the 17th.The averaged low was 47.5 degrees vs the average of 48.0 degrees, a -0.5 below normal. The coldest temp recorded for the month was 29.4 degrees on the 10th. Overall averaged temp was 57.6 degrees vs the average of 61.2 degrees, a -3.6 below normal and slides into 3rd coolest May ever recorded here behind 1997's 55.8 degree and 2005's 57.1 degree readings. Total rainfall for the month was 6.32 inches vs a normal of 4.11 inches, a +2.21 above normal. The wettest day was on the 22nd with 1.31 inches falling. Although a big plus, not in top 5 largest years, with 2009's 8.03 inches leading the way. There were 17 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T' and 11 dry days. Highest wind recorded was 31 mph on the 15th and 10th. I recorded 13 days with winds above 25 mph. It was a record filled month, with 12 new ones! The above mentioned averaged high for the month, then 6 new record 'cool maxes' (to produce the monthly) on the 2nd, 7th, 10th, 12th, 19th and 21st. Three new record daily low temps on the 7th, 9th and 10th. Then two new daily rainfall records, 1.01 inches on the 21st and 1.22 inches on the 19th. Overall a cool and wet month. Records kept since October 1979. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
