I was at home and looking on the internet. When i came across an article about the sun. They wrote about that the sunspots where visible with the naked eye.

A giant sunspot complex is marching across the Sun's face this week, much to the delight of avid skywatchers. The spot group is so large it is visible without magnification — all you need to see it is a sunny day and a safe solar filter. copy the link for the complete article.

Its the same here Mr.Orange, 2 hours ago, the sky was completely free of clouds, and now it looks like a storm coming... I like the lightning and thunder though, it is amasing to watch..

Lens flares aside, the best time to photo the sun to (hopefully) capture an image of any naked eye sunspots is either when there's a thin layer of cirrostratus covering the sky (in such conditions you can often look directly at the Sun) or at sunset when there is a good layer of pollution on the horizon.
Trying to photo the sun when high in the sky and with nothing between to diffuse its brightness may damage the camera sensor and will only result in a glaring image in which nothing can be seen. Except lens flares
