Solar Weather Technique forecasts: massive storms to hit Britain and Europe (Oct 26-31, Nov 8-13 and Nov 24-28)

Since we are near minimum activity (a very, very quiet sun) it is no wonder that he wouldn't (couldn't?) answer my questions about basic solar activity. He's a con-man and charlatan pure and simple. He has no scientific credibility whatsoever. And for the record the longest running record of solar activity is from Wolfs data, the Zurich sunspot number (although modern measures are now more accurate). It is available online for historic data and also the most recent cycle at http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/SOLAR/SSN/ssn.html I know, I just wondered if Piers would cite anything. Note that measuring the Earths magnetic field behaviour can under some circumstance be used to predict future long term solar activity during parts of the solar cycle. Auroral emissions at high altitudes near the poles are fun but the solar wind has little or no effect on the troposphere. Transient induced current effects across the Canada power grid sufficient to trip circuit breakers in extreme geomagnetic storms is about the limit. http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/predict.shtml And for would be aurora watchers http://www.spaceweather.com/ Tonight or tomorrow night are decent candidates for a bit of a display at high latitudes. Note that these are all genuine science sites and not Daily Express bull****e fodder. Mr Corbyns long range weather "forecasts" are about as useful as "rain or go dark before morning" predictions.
