Where? Not here. We have had miserable weather this "summer." Rain, chilly temps in the 50's and 60's, rain, more rain, and about six days of sunny warm weather since the first of June. Even the diehards are getting bummed out.
That wouldn’t be long enough to establish confidence in moon cycles.
It is called heat inertia. It is most readily seen in the Summer after the Soltice, the days get shorter, but the heat increases for months after.
The full affects of the decrease in sunspots won’t be felt for years afterwards. IOW, get ready for increasingly cooler temps even if the sunspots rebound. If they don’t rebound then hello LIA, or worse.
Global Warming is happening throughout the Solar System. Keyword "SOLAR"

Well here in Newport News, VA it has been the hottest summer I can remember. Then again, last summer was the mildest I can remember.
The sun microwaves the earth.
Could you please, please, please send some of it down here to Alabama???
We're having a heat wave here (Ohio) right now.
“Could you please, please, please send some of it down here to Alabama???”
High of 71 today, will that do?
Normal for this day is 76. Why I love the Pacific Northwest. It rarely gets too hot, and when it does it last maybe a week at most. Same goes with winter - very mild compared to what happenes back east.
What is Space Weather gonna do when the sun really gets ripping with 100 spots ?
My Power bills state that the Seattle area temps in July had an avg temp 4 degrees below last year. June was 7 degrees below last year. May was 2 degrees below last year.
The cooler summer really is noticible, and I don’t blame global cooling or warming - just weather patterns, the path of the jet stream, and el Nino & la Nina water variations. Nothing that man has any affect over. Just good ole Mother Nature doing what she always does.
Yeah...we had a cooler than normal summer last year (or maybe year before...can't remember), and like you I attribute it to normal weather variation.
Since they're "completely unbiased" and "just report the facts," they'll simply document the spots as usual. What were you thinking they'd do? ;-)
FYI.
You won’t hear that South America is experiencing its coldest winter.
Yes, the climate chicken littles won’t mention inconvienent facts about the cold in SA. But, I am just glad we have some of the chickens are looking up and shouting “The sun! The sun!”, instead of shouting “The people! The people!”
That is an improvement. They can not enslave, punish and tax and kill the sun. So shyster Gore is out of luck.

Be thankful the global warming chicken littles are blaming the sun for the hot places on earth instead of people. ;)
While I am a firm believer that the sun causes warming of the earth(only an idiot would believe otherwise)this guy is wrong.

"Mr. Solanki does not know what is causing the sun to burn brighter now or how long this cycle would last.
He says that the increased solar brightness over the past 20 years has not been enough to cause the observed climate changes, but believes that the impact of intense sunshine on the ozone layer and cloud cover could be affecting the climate more than the sunlight itself."
Here's Solanki from an article dated 2004:
"But Professor Sami Solanki, solar physicist and director at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, is not convinced that the increased activity of the Sun is responsible for global warming.
He says that based on his team's research, the Sun can be responsible for, at most, only a small part of the warming over the last 20 to 30 years.
"Just how large this role is, must still be investigated," he says, "since, according to our latest knowledge on the variations of the solar magnetic field, the significant increase in the Earth's temperature since 1980 is indeed to be ascribed to the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide."
Also, in a 2003 paper, Solanki estimated that the Sun contributed only as much as 30% of the warming since 1970.
Solar activity & climate: is the sun causing global warming?
Thanks for occasionally apprising me of the current state of discussion on the conservative side vis-a-vis global warming.
