We argue that Earth's short-term temperature anomalies and the solar flare intermittency are linked. The analysis is based upon the study of the scaling of both the spreading and the entropy of the diffusion generated by the fluctuations of the temperature time series. The joint use of these two methods evidences the presence of a Lévy component in the temporal persistence of the temperature data sets that corresponds to the one that would be induced by the solar flare intermittency. The mean monthly temperature data sets cover the period from 1856 to 2002.

No known relationship between individual solar flares and weather.

1. Effect on everyday Earth weather is very little.

There is, evidence for a relationship between the solar activity cycle and global climate.

-- The temperature above the north pole in the stratosphere is correlated with the 11 year sunspot cycle.

---The stratospheric temperature above the pole is relatively warm or cool when the Sun is active.
