Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is very low. The previous target region has
decayed to plage since the last message, while two new spot regions are
in the process of emerging close to the central meridian. Of these, the
spot group in the northern hemisphere will become the new target region
following it producing two B-class flares - the largest being a B5.4 on
22-Feb-2021 at 21:19 UT. This region is expected to be numbered as NOAA
12804 at the start of the next UT day and it has still only developed a
rudimentary penumbra around its leading polarity spot (so potentially a
beta/C-type sunspot group classification). Further B-class activity is
expected in the following 24 hours.

The approximate position of this region on 22-Feb-2021 at 22:30 UT is:

N20W03 , ( 47", 443" )
