Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 12880 has
decreased in spot area but increased in longitudinal extent from
a beta/D-type to a beta/E-type sunspot group classification. NOAA
12882 has maintained its designation as an alpha/H-type sunspot
group, but has increased in reported spot area as it has rotated
further on disk. Both regions have produced low B-class activity
since the last message, but 12882 becomes the new target region
due to there being a very small emerging flux region close by to
the North. Further B-class flares are expected in the following
24-hour period, with a chance for C-class flaring if the nearby
emerging flux region becomes more magnetically connected to NOAA
12882.
The position of NOAA 12882 on 5-Oct-2021 at 18:00 UT is:
N16E56 , ( -767", 205" )
