Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The current level of solar activity is low-moderate. Since
the previous message, yesterday's target (NOAA 12030)
was responsible for low C-class activity and its flux
emergence appears to have subsided. The largest event,
a C8.3 flare on 4-Apr-2014 at 13:48 UT, was released by
NOAA 12027, a small beta region that is likely being
destabilised by NOAA 12030 and is not expected to
produce further significant activity. NOAA 12026 shows
strong flux emergence and a small sheared mixed polarity
spot with weak umbrae, but was only responsible for low
C-class activity. On the other hand, NOAA 12021 shows
strong rapid flux emergence and a large mixed polarity spot.
So far, the region has released a C6.2 flare on 4-Apr-2014 at
14:54 UT. Further high C-class activity is expected with a
chance for an M-class event.

The position of NOAA 12021 on 4-Apr-2014 at 15:00 UT is:

S13W40, ( 602", -136" )
