NOVEMBER NEWS

Six regions counted today with two new regions and the overall area increasing slightly.  Hard to say at this point how the month will pan out.

Five regions counted today with region 1361 now making the grade and the overall area decreasing but darkness increasing reflecting a higher DSN. Two new small areas at this stage rotating onto the face. Most of the latest activity has been from weaker returning regions.

Four regions counted today with new region 1362 and the overall area decreasing. Two regions currently in the north at 8 deg latitude which is starting to get close to the equator. Darkness levels not strong.

Three regions counted today with the overall area decreasing. Region 1360 failing the 24 hour test again and will not be counted yesterday.

Five regions counted today with a a new region 1360 appearing, with the overall area increasing slightly. Region 1354 failing the 24 hour test again and will not be counted yesterday.

Five regions counted today with a comeback from 1354 but still subject to the 24 hour rule, with the overall area increasing slightly. Stereo Behind showing some possible future activity.

Four regions counted today with two regions falling below the threhold as expected with the overall area decreasing. Region 1357 not passing the 24 hour rule and will not be counted today or yesterday.

Six regions counted today with region 1353 failing today but new regions 1357/8 adding to the total with the overall area increasing. Two regions might be under pressure tomorrow.

Five regions counted today with old region 1353 again just making the grade in the north with the overall area increasing. The La Nina state is looking to go deeper, we are primed for another massive NH winter.

Six regions counted today with old region 1353 now just making the grade in the north with the overall area increasing. Region 1346 looking to go below the threshold tomorrow. The solar wind speed is about as low as it can go right now.

Five regions counted today with a new region in the north (1356) and the overall area increasing.

Four regions counted today with the overall area increasing slighty. Region 1350 not making the grade as expected but being replaced by small unipolar region 1355. Region 1353 (under 1355) still not passing the threshold.

Four regions counted today with the overall area decreasing slighty. A new region in the south 1354. Older region 1350 starting to show signs of severe decay and is not expected to make the grade tomorrow. At least 4 other speck areas that will be counted by the official teams today.

Five regions counted today with the overall area still decreasing rapidly. 1347 failing the 24 hour rule and will not be counted today or yesterday. All indicators are falling.

Seven regions counted today with the overall area still decreasing rapidly. Two regions just passing the threshold test. The weak long lived uniploar type groups continue to dominate.

Six regions counted today with the overall area still decreasing rapidly. A new area near old region 1339 should fail the 24 hour rule but will be included if not. A new region in the north (1350) replacing the outgoing 1339. There is more in the pipeline but perhaps a slowdown at present.

Six regions counted today with the overall area still decreasing rapidly. Many other speck regions visible on the face today that will artificially bump the official record.

Seven regions counted today with the overall area decreasing rapidly. Almost all records and indexes falling away today, the next few days will see what strength remains.

Nine regions counted today with the overall area decreasing. A new region in the south that could be yet another unipolar group.

Eight regions counted today with the overall area decreasing. Most regions dropping off. I have just reviewed a very interesting paper by Dr. Scafetta that might hold the key to the 60 year global temperature cycle and perhaps the driver of the PDO...details HERE.

Eight regions counted today with the overall area decreasing. Two new small regions in the south, Sol showing some mojo right now. I have just reviewed a very interesting paper by Dr. Scafetta that might hold the key to the 60 year global temperature cycle and perhaps the driver of the PDO...details HERE.

Six regions counted today with the overall area decreasing. 1339 and 1338 dropping in size while all other regions showing some growth.

Six regions counted today with the overall area now on a small decrease. The structure of the current sunspots should maintain a constant spot count until they rotate off the face.

Six regions counted today with the overall area still on the increase. Another new unipolar group makes the grade today as 1339 appears to have reached its peak. F10.7 flux values are high when looking at this cycle.

Six regions counted today with the overall area still on the increase. Some new areas today which are currently showing little strength. 1339 continues its growth and is king of SC24 for now.
