the solar wind in-situ The Parker spiral Image credit: I. Mueller-Wodarg There are different types of solar wind • Fast solar wind (v≈750km/s) comes from coronal holes • At solar minimum, polar coronal holes dominate flow – fast wind over the Sun’s poles • Slower (v≈400 km/s), denser (≈2x) and more

. In stark contrast, the lowest minimum temperature was a chilly 4.9°C on 22 June 1999. Notably, the highest overnight minimum was 20.8°C, recorded on 27 June 1976, which may come as no surprise to those who remember the notorious summer of that year. Conversely, the lowest maximum temperature during
