Back then. The solar cycles. The sun spot level was low (hard winters, hot summers). The sun spots started to increase in the 90's (mild winters, mild summers), and peaked in 2008. Since then. the sun spots have been decreasing. So we are going back to hard winters and hot summers. Australia just had a record breaking cold winter. Now they are having a record breaking hot summer. It seems like we lag behind them in weather patterns.
