Good news today!

Where is he getting this data? 82 sounds correct. How could it
instantly go up to 90? Is this the predicted number?

On Feb 4, Solar flux values forecast by NOAA/USAF were 80 on February
4-8, 78 on February 9-10, then 80, 80, 82, 81, 81, 82 and 88 on
February 11-17. So yes, this would appear to either be an error or an
unexpected treat.
