I am the last one to EVER complain about the weather being too hot, so this news greatly saddened me.
Scientists think the sun is headed into hibernation, a period they call Maunder Minimum which is characterized by very few to possibly zero sunspots. The original MM occurred in 1645 and lasted 70 years, and coincided with what is known as the Little Ice Age, a period of below-normal temperatures in North America and Europe. According to wordiq.com, the number of sunspots correlates with the intensity of solar radiation.
With the start of summer less than a day away we are reminded to enjoy the warm weather while we still can.
