Dear users, contrary to tradition, I give a preliminary overview of the development of the current solar cycle, so that it would be possible to have a relative value sunspots for May 2020 and smoothed for November 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------- THE RELATIVE MONTHLY MEAN SUNSPOT NUMBER ON MAY 2020 HAS MADE Wmay = 0.12 0.2(n) THAT GIVES FOR 130 MONTH (2019, NOVEMBER) OF DEVELOPMENT CURRENT 24 SOLAR CYCLE THE SMOOTHED MONTHLY MEAN SUNSPOT NUMBER W*nov. = 1.3 2.1 - new system W*oct. = 1.6 2.6 - new system On July 1, 2015 Centre in Brussels moved to a new system of calcu- lation the relative number of sunspots and practically all of the values were replaced throughout the numbered series of Wolf numbers (see link). While there is addictive, I recalculated (0.6) to the old system, but only W*, and present below the new values for the minimum and maximum of 24 cycles SA. THE BEGINNING OF 24 SOLAR CYCLE - I 2009 with W*=1.8; (2.2) THE TIME OF THE CURRENT CYCLE MAXIMUM - IV 2014, - Wmax =82; (116.4) THE END OF 24 SOLAR CYCLE (THE POINT OF MINIMUM) - I - VI 2020; OTHER SC FORECAST: SM : SIDC classical method : based on an interpolation of Waldmeier's standard curves; the estimated error ranges from 7% (first month) to 35% (last month) - February 2020; NOAA - December 2019. The last two, in my opinion, are inadequate, since such short, low SCs were not observed. The observed magnetic structures corresponding SC 25 (>43 on October 2019) can be seen http://www.solen.info/solar/cycle25_spots.html Provisional daily International Sunspot Numbers for MAY 2020 (63 observatories): 1.. 4í 6.. 0 11.. 0 16.. 0 21.. 0 26.. 0 31.. 2 2.. 0 7.. 0 12.. 0 17.. 0 22.. 0 27.. 0 3.. 0 8.. 0 13.. 0 18.. 0 23.. 0 28.. 0 4.. 0 9.. 0 14.. 0 19.. 0 24.. 0 29.. 0 5.. 0 10.. 0 15.. 0 20.. 0 25.. 0 30.. 0 Minimum :0 on 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 [The daily value W in old system close to true (in a minimum phase) can be received, multiplying by k = 0.6].

LIKELY WEEKLY AVERAGE VALUE OF THE RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBER IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM (old) FOR NEXT WEEK IS W=010+10/-10. FLARE ACTIVITY WAS AT THE VERY LOW LEVEL, BUT 22 SOLAR FLARE OF "A" AND "B" CLASSES, ONE SOLAR FILAMENT EJECTA WITH VERY SLOW CME AND SOME MORE THREE CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS (29.04 FND 3.05) HAVE BEEN OBSERVED OF THE PERIOD. ------------------------------------------------------------------- FLARES >M1 X-RAY CLASSES to tm te local.
