No spotless days at all so far this year and currently 99 sunspots. I don't check very often but this seems to be more than the other times I've checked this year.

However if you look at the layman's sunspot count which mirrors the methods used during the last minimum then you will see there has been 3 spotlees daays in the last two months. The sun is very quiet especially as we are surposed to be in the active phase of the cycle. I to would expect even spaceweather.com to record a spotless day this year.
