Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13595
continued to decay in number of sunspots and spot area since
the last message, but remains classed as a beta-gamma/E-type
sunspot group. This region has decreased in flare production
but still generated a C1.6 flare on 4-Mar-2024 at 12:00 UT.
The most flare-active region since the last message is a new
flux emergence region in the North East quadrant that has not
yet been numbered by NOAA, being the source of 8 low C-class
flares. This new region has now developed small spots in both
polarities that are expected to persist, so this becomes the
new target region. It is worth noting that the primary bipole
axis is highly inclined towards a North-South orientation.
More C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour
period.

The approximate position of this region on 4-Mar-2024 at 14:00 UT is:

N19E35 , ( -527", 408" )
