Solar activity has been at a high level since the last message.
The largest event in the period was an M5.6 flare at 06:37 UT
today, produced by NOAA 14046 (N05E24). This region retains
a beta-gamma configuration and produced another three C-class
flares. The target region NOAA 14048 (S16E46) has developed
into a beta-gamma-delta configuration with further increases in
both spot area and number. It remained the most flare-productive
region in the period, producing an M1.3 flare and over ten C-class
flares. The Major Flare Watch will remain effective with NOAA
14048 as the target region due to its magnetic complexity and
continued flux emergence in its intermediate portion. Further low
M-class flares are expected from the target region and also from
NOAA 14046, with a chance of an additional flare exceeding M5
in the next few days.
