I refer to this a the "Period" of the Perigee, it does NOT mean it is on those dates, if you look at the forecast its between 26.5 (-1 day) July to the 29th (28th + 1 day)

The last M6.5+ was an M6.7 on 28 May (when the sun had a similar level of background flux).
I had this current uptick provisionally for Piers R4 period coming up based upon the 'pizza slice' shaped coronal hole which is passing/passed centre disk of the sun. http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/latest/latest_1024_0193.jpg this was based on the R4 periods in March which correlated better with eq's than other periods that month (this is for eq's only not weather events). This one does seem slightly early but I'll await the next few days to see if anything further happens.
There have been 3 relatively quiet eq periods this year with no M6>
15-25 Feb
2-13 May
9-19 Jul
If I recall weather events continued as expected but quakes were on the v. quiet side.
If quakes have now upticked then it will be interesting to see what happens around 10th August when the moon is at Apogee.
