Solar Irradiance
In recent months, I've spoken of decreases in solar flux and solar irradiance with the current sunspot cycle nadir. In addition, I've suggested that the current cool climate pattern we've experienced is likely connected to this decrease in solar activity.
Below are some sites with great information:
Total Solar Irradiance Data
Solar Terrestrial Activity Report
Solar Cycle 24 Site
Here's a somewhat controversial blog, but I find it interesting: Dalton Minimum Returns (My sense is that the author feels that global warming was more solar than man-made. I don't subscribe to that belief.)
Hope you enjoy these links!

Philadelphia Weekend Weather Outlook- Tues PM
A Bermuda high will bring some summer-like weather for us on Saturday. But the generally cooler than normal pattern continues, as the Bermuda high moves off the coast and a weak cool front moves through late Saturday afternoon or night. An upper cyclonic flow continues to bring disturbances through our area for Sunday.
Sat 7/11: tentative: Partly to mostly sunny, warm and humid with a good chance of thunderstorms later in the afternoon. High 87
Sun 7/12:tentative: A mix of clouds and sun. Chance of an afternoon shower. High 84.
Solar- Climate Update: A new, cycle 24 sunspot area developed over last weekend but has begun to fade over the past day as it rotates out of direct line. Solar activity remains relatively quiet and solar flux remains low, slightly over 70. We will remain in an climatically cool weather pattern for the summer, as solar flux and total solar irradiance are at extreme lows due to an anomalous nadir in the the sunspot cycle. Continue to expect a cooler than normal summer on average and this pattern may extend well into the fall and winter.
