Tad,

Good catch! I did not notice the incorrect date. The site is now available, and the prediction, dated today, now calls a sunspot maximum number of 59 in early 2013, lowering the prediction down slightly from two weeks ago but leaving the date of the peak the same.

My copy said September 1, 2011. I think they accidentally reposted the older one.

I sent an email to the webmaster for that page last night, and about 15 minutes ago got a message saying they would look into it. Now I see that page has disappeared, and it is a dead link.

Good information. It’s been unusually cold in the Seattle area in the past few weeks — but that is regional weather. Hopefully we don;t get a weak maximum!
