The solar activity since 1700
The last solar cycles
The following diagram shows the solar activity for the last 30 years.
Note:
On 1st July 2015, the sunspot index has been replaced by a homogenized version (▸comparing old and new). For more information, see ▸SIDC/SILSO.

The solar activity since 1820
This diagram shows the index of the solar activity since 1820 (Source:▸SIDC). The light green line displays the daily values. The green and dark green line shows the monthly and annual average. Also added the average for 5.5 years (red) and 30 years (blue).
