Having bounced along for the last couple of weeks at a relatively high level compared to the rest of 2012. Things have calmed down a bit in the last week.

Yes, as I commented in the Model thread. So this could lead to some interesting weather in here in early June
Do you really thing the effects are that quick and that direct? I am really quite surprised by your suggestion.
I don't have a quantitative analysis on the subject, but qualitatively I do recall a number of cold spells which seemed to be going fine, but then got interrupted a few days after an increase in solar activity
You think this must be true just because you have suggested it?
Ulric, No need to be needlessly confrontational!
I have posited a theory based on personal recollections of several past events. I have not, at all, said that it "must be true"!
I am open to the evidence (such that it exists) on the matter.
Chill!
He's completely emotionally and intellectually invested in this idea and if it doesn't happen he'll die a broken man.
All say aaahhh.
Also I did comment how I felt we hadn't reached solar max just yet, could this ramp up be the one?

But , S.C. , you told me 2 days ago;
"Also solar max is looking to have been breached already."
over on the 'has our weather changed?' thread????
Also GW, solar max may have been breached, but that does not imply there will be no activity thereafter.

kinda like the PDO then?
Solar activity seems to have moved back into a (relatively low) steady state.
Last November remains the recent peak.

Otoh, the averaged data from the same site doesn't indicate we peaked in November.

Indeed.
