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! Despite the biggest sunspot of the year, number 1029, that was in our view just a few days ago, 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. 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. To this day, the Almanac uses three disciplines to predict the weather: meteorology, climatology, and solar activity. Learn more about how the sun effects our climate, and how the Farmer's Almanac forecasts weather here.
