What's going on with our Sun?

It’s a long, long summer without a drop of rain. I’ve lost the desire for my early morning walk around the garden, with my first cup of coffee in the right hand - so many of our plants, trees and bushes and annuals, in spite of regular watering are in so poor shape. It can’t be water only, it can’t be temperatures, it’s Sun, yes, it’s Sun radiating with those baking frequencies. I don’t recall any news on unusual solar radiation this summer but I believe it’s Sun, I feel it. You may say I’m less tolerant to solar exposure because of my age but I’m telling you, it’s Sun.

To cheer up, a thought of better next year is flashing. Really? Floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, drought, large wildfires and other extreme weather conditions have left a trail of destruction around the world this year. But this could be just the start to years of bad weather. And drought, unlike hurricanes and other rapid-moving weather, could become a permanent condition in some parts of the world. And Sun, did I mention my suspicion on the changes of solar radiation.
