Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has dropped to an intermediate level since the
last message. The largest event was a C8.2 flare at 16:58 UT
yesterday from NOAA 13959 (N18W25, beta/C-type). The target
region NOAA 13964 only produced four low-C flares in the period,
including the largest being a C4.9 flare at 14:05 UT yesterday.
This region has lost the delta configuration to be classified as
a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. Today the Major Flare
Watch will be extended for maybe the final 24 hours with 13964.
Note that NOAA 13961 (S09E01, beta-gamma-delta/E-type) with
a sunspot area of 780 μh, and NOAA 13968 (S19W78, beta/B-type)
also were the two sources of ~C5 flare. Further C-class activity is
expected, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 flare in the
following 24 hours.
