:Another thing to keep in mind is that our human understanding of the full role the sun plays on earth climate is limited since many solar processes are poorly understood (remaining unproven theories)... it is known that there is cyclicity in solar output (eg: sunspot cycles, for one), but the mechanisms and the full earth climatic consequences are not well understood yet. Part of the problem is that detailed research into all these things has only really gone on for the last 60-70 years and what we normally consider typical "precision" and "scope" of 'science' in such fields has only existed over the last 50 years - very short time spans in terms of something so long-term as 'climate'.
Yonder days I was taught about spots being regular, then I hear about some 11-year cycle.
Now I learn about new phenomena by year. New methods of researching the Star...
Like trivia that a photon (light) produced in the core, bounces within the sun for millions of years and if it's lucky, then travels throughout the cosmos, some tiny fraction of them reaching Earth in 8-some minutes.
So hence the sun is totally dim and can't be "xrayed", 'doctors' use "ultrasound" to see the sun's "internal organs" and structure.
Since the sun's interior is mostly plasma by mass, and the sun's nature is to blow up every second by billions with lots of moving heat and "coyotic" convection, the sun's magnetosphere is "a mess", thus producing lots of "scenery" like spots and flares.
Some stars regularly but rarely produce superflares any single one of which would sterilise such a planet as our Earth. And it's uncertain if our sun will do that or not. -

In the meantime, it's autumn moving up here, north of Moscow. Trees green and temps not fallen too much yet, rains started to lash and sun hiding behind blanketing cloud.
We are to expect a short "Indian summer" which, due to shortness of Indians, is traditionally called some "old ladies' summer" here:) -

Year turned towards winter at last yesterday, and I overslept phenomenally.
It's normal Autumn now - 3 to 5 centigrade, but I'm not cold, especially with our central heating having successfully started. Some creepy drip out the window every night, can't even definitely tell it's raining, but the homicide squad in the morning sees the evidence, wet. -

Slow raining during the day now. We definitely need a word for that. Like "yuck-wet-drizzle" or something. You can't see the rain but only the results.

:time change
Like H.G.Wells?
Russians ride bikes in blizzards, really stoic.

@joshl No, rather the end to what Europeans generally refer to as "Summer Time", though we call "Daylight Savings Time" Kind of ironic that we are on "standard time" for ... just over 4 months of the year, we spend more of the year on "summer time" than "standard time".

Twilight for days now. Dirty ~0 quasi-winter with the swimming brown splashy road in the banks of whiteish soggy snow thawing up the mud. Chilly 90+ humid wind strong not with its sheer force but with a corpsy boggish mortuary touch creeping up under your skin into your soul, freezing joy of life out of you. Nice picture?

No snow yet? This year it all started about a month early and then stayed with no relief.
