Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity has increased due to several ~C1
flares from various regions. NOAA 13632 and NOAA 13630
produced three ~C1 flares but they both showed signs of
decay in their spot area and counts. A plage region (N26E67)
appeared to produce a C1.4 flare at 02:35 UT today. An
unnumbered region near the northeast limb (N19E87) was a
source of a C1.0 and two high-B flares yesterday. The target
region NOAA 13633 has not produced any flares in the past
24 hours, but it has grown in magnetic complexity to be
classified as a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group. 13633 became
the most magnetically complex region on the visible disk, so it
should continue to be the target for a further 24 hours. More
B-class activities are expected with a good chance of additional
low-C flares in the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13633 on 8-Apr-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

S08E52 (-749", -70")
