Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13451 has decayed
further since the last message, decreasing in spot area and magnetic
complexity to a beta/D-type group classification. NOAA 13451 has been
flare-quiet in the period, while NOAA 13450 (a beta-gamma/E-type group)
has produced the most flares - 9 C-class flares, including the largest
flare that was a C3.6 on 3-Oct-2023 at 16:56 UT. The target switches to
NOAA 13450 due to its higher complexity and current level of flaring.
Further C-class activity is expected in the following 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 13450 on 3-Oct-2023 at 20:00 UT is:

S18W07 , ( 111", -400" )
