  2. Coming next, when I get around to it: solar influences. I have several years of data from the period between the minimum to the maximum of the current solar cycle.

  4. THE SUN IS CELEBRATING ANOTHER EARTH ORBIT WITH A MAJOR X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Satellites orbiting Earth have just detected a significant #X5-class #solarflare. It is the strongest flare of Solar #Cycle25 (so far) and the most powerful eruption the #sun has produced since the great storms of Sept. 2017. The underlying #sunspot is a giant, and it is turning toward Earth with more flares in the offing. spaceweather.com has the explosive details.
