In 1999, the Sun was approaching its solar maximum, part of the 23rd solar cycle, which typically leads to an increase in sunspot activity. The number of sunspots varied throughout the year, but averages indicate that there were generally between 50 to 100 sunspots per month during that time. The peak activity occurred in mid-2000, just after 1999.
