September saw the sunspot MDF fall to a low level similar to that recorded in late 1998. We are now clearly seeing the declining trend of the current sunspot cycle. No high latitude spots were reported but sunspots were seen at low latitude towards the end of the month. Both hemispheres showed a decrease in spots with the north showing no spots from Sept 5 to 14. October was a month of contrast. From October 4 to 20 sunspot activity was at a low level. The northern hemisphere was blank from Oct 3 to 14 repeating the scenario seen last month. Activity then increased to a high level at the end of October with three naked eye sunspot groups crossing the solar disk. No high latitude spots were seen but there was a low-latitude group at -4°/334° seen on Oct 21.
