CONTINUED QUIET: For the fourth day in a row, solar activity remains low. None of the sunspots on tthe Earthside of the sun pose a threat for strong flares. NOAA forecasters put the chances of an X-class eruption at less than 1%. http://www.spaceweather.com/

Indeed! And the solar flux has fallen further: 117

Another quiet day!

QUIET SUN: With no sunspots actively flaring, the sun's x-ray output has flatlined. Solar activity is low, and likely to remain so for the next 24 hours.

The solar flux has dropped to 121

I don't understand what you mean by "says it all really"

But anyhow.... yes as in the latest video i posted shows, the sun is quiet at this moment in time.

I mean that the sun has been quiet for much of the time. Any active periods are short-lived!

From spaceweather.com:

QUIET SUN: With no sunspots actively flaring, the sun's x-ray output has flatlined. Solar activity is very low, and likely to remain so for the next 24 hours.

Says it all really...
