Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 12940
decayed slightly since the last message and has simplified in
magnetic classification to a beta/C-type sunspot group. This
region did not produce any flaring activity since the last
message, so the MMCO target switches back to NOAA 12936 as it
rotates up to the North West limb. NOAA 12936 has remained as
a beta/E-type sunspot classification but has increased in its
frequency of flaring to produce eight C-class flares over the
past 24 hours, including the largest of the period (a C5.8 on
4-Feb-2022 at 15:39 UT). Additional C-class activity is likely
in the next 24 hours, with a chance for a low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12936 on 4-Feb-2022 at 18:00 UT is:

N17W72 , ( 885", 315" )
