Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 12882 emerged
new flux since the last message to increase in complexity and become
a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot classification. This region has continued
producing B-class flares, including the largest event of the period
(a B5.9 on 12-Oct-2021 at 15:54 UT). However, a new spot region is in
the process of emerging approximately 10 degrees West of NOAA 12882.
This will become the new target due to its rate of emergence and its
proximity to NOAA 12882. Further B-class activity is expected in the
following 24-hour period, with a chance for C-class if the new region
emerges trailing polarity flux close to the leading polarity spot of
NOAA 12882.

The approximate position of this region on 13-Oct-2021 at 18:00 UT is:

N16W65 , ( 839", 223" )
