Sunspots and volcanic activity do affect the weather.

Let's hope Mr. Bastardi is right ! SO FAR HIS SUMMER FORCAST IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY !!!

Well it really looks like this summer will go down beside the summers of 1992 and 1986 . No big heat waves in sight even for the 2 week contruction holiday .With no sunspot activity and volcanic ash more present in the atmosphere may be the cause for this i really think so.

It looks like el nino will not have a profound affect on our climate for the 2009-10 winter season as it will wane slowly by the time winter sets in. Accuweather Joe B. has some good points on this matter. LINK... http://www.accuweather.com/news-weather-fe...s.asp?#extremes
