A correlation analysis shows that the sunspot numbers at the peaks of the last eight solar cycles are well-correlated with the sunspot numbers in heliolatitudes 20o-40 ~ (specially in the southern hemisphere) occurring in the solar minimum years immediately preceding the solar maximum years. Among

Statistically significant correlations exist between the size (maximum amplitude) of the sunspot cycle and, especially, the maximum value of the rate of rise during the ascending portion of the sunspot cycle, where the rate of rise is computed either as the difference in the month-to-month smoothed
Examined are associational aspects as they relate the maximum amplitude R M for the sunspot cycle to the rate of rise Ral during the ascending phase, where R M is the smoothed sunspot number at cycle maximum and Rat is the sum of the monthly mean sunspot numbers for selected 6-month intervals (At) m
