Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at moderate levels. The Major Flare Watch target
NOAA 13186 produced two low M-class flares (M1.1 at 01/12/05:53 UT
and M1.6 at 06:33 UT) in the past 24 hours. 13186 retains its beta-delta/
D-type configuration but increases in the sunspot area and number of
spots. Some other regions, NOAA 13184 (S13E35, beta-gamma-delta/
E-type), 13181 (S18W66, beta-gamma/E-type), and 13182 (S17W13,
beta-gamma/E-type), produced several C-class flares. We will continue
the Major Flare Watch today as 13186 still has the potential to produce
another >M5 flare.
The position of NOAA 13186 on January 12 at 08:30 UT
N24E46 (-642", 442")
