Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a low to moderate level. Several
flares were produced, the largest being an M2.1 from NOAA 13854 at
16:07 UT yesterday. NOAA 13854 has shown signs of dynamic sunspot
behaviour and exists in close proximity to NOAA 13852. NOAA 13854 is
classified as a beta-gamma type region. Given the dormant nature of
NOAA 13848, the Major Flare Watch is ending at this time and the
target region is now switched to NOAA 13854. Further C- and M-class
activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13854 on 12-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
S04E13, (-216",-165")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has further reduced since the last message. A number of
flares were produced, the largest being a partially occulted M3.0 from
NOAA 13844 at 21:54 UT yesterday. NOAA 13848 has remained dormant and
relatively stable since the last message despite being the largest and
most complex region on the disk. The Major Flare Watch will be
extended for what may be the final 24 hours with NOAA 13848 as the
target region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected with a
slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13848 on 11-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
N13W46, (675",146")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a moderate-high level since the last
message. Several flares were produced, the largest being an X1.4 on
the southwest limb from NOAA 13843 at 15:44 UT yesterday. Additionally
an M7.7 was produced from NOAA 13844 at 22:59 UT yesterday. Neither of
these regions remain on the disk. NOAA 13848 has been quiet since the
last message, however it remains the largest and most complex region
on the disk. The Major Flare Watch will remain active for a further 24
hours with NOAA 13848 as the target region - attention should also be
paid to NOAA 13852 as this region has shown notable sunspot dynamism
in the last 24 hours. Further C- and M-class activity is expected with
a chance for an isolated >M5 event.
The position of NOAA 13848 on 10-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
N12W32, (499",113")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate-high level. An X1.8 flare was produced
from NOAA 13848 at 01:25 UT today. NOAA 13848 is classified as a
beta-gamma-delta now with a sunspot area of 600 μh. This region
contains a substantial leading spot, however the behaviour of this
region is relatively stable. This region does show signs of
significant flux. At this time we are extending the Major Flare Watch
and switching the target region to NOAA 13848. Further C- and M-class
activity is likely, with a chance for further >M5 activity in the next
24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13848 on 9-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
N12W18, (291",101")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message. NOAA 13842
produced an X2.2 flare at 19:02 UT yesterday. An X1.0 flare was also
produced at 19:50 UT yesterday and attributed to NOAA 13844, which is
in close proximity to NOAA 13842. NOAA 13842 is now situated on the
southwest limb. NOAA 13842 will remain the target region until it
passes fully beyond the disk. However, attention should also be paid
to NOAA 13848 - a beta-gamma-delta region with a sunspot area of 770
μh. The Major Flare Watch will remain active. Further C- and M-class
activity is expected, with a chance for further (potentially partially
occulted) >M5 flares in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13842 on 8-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
S15W70, (872",-282")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly reduced since the last message. A number
of flares were produced, the largest being an M1.6 attributed to NOAA
13839 (this may also be associated with NOAA 13842) at 20:52 UT today.
Since the last message, NOAA 13842 has continued its approach of the
southwest limb. At this time, this region still shows signs of strong
flux, however the associated spot activity appears relatively stable.
The Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be the final 24
hours as NOAA 13842 embarks on its transit of the southwest limb.
Additional C- and M-class activity is expected with a small chance for
an isolated >M5 event in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13842 on 7-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
S16W57, (775",-319")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a moderate-high level. Several flares were
produced, the largest being an M2.4 from NOAA 13842 at 23:10 UT
yesterday. While no large flares were produced in the last 24 hours,
NOAA 13842 has continued to grow in area, reaching 1040 μh as it
begins its transit of the southwest limb. Significant flux is present
surrounding this region. The Major Flare Watch will be extended while
NOAA 13842 remains on the disk. Further C- and M-class activity is
expected, with a chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48
hours.
The position of NOAA 13842 on 6-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a moderate-high level. Several flares
were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.2 from
NOAA 13485 at 22:04 UT yesterday. NOAA 13842 has now reached an area
of 710 μh and continues to show significant sunspot dynamism. Equally,
NOAA 13844, another beta-gamma-delta region, has shown significant
development in the last 24-48 hours, reaching an area of 660 μh and
also showing very dynamic sunspot behaviour. Both of these regions are
approaching the southwest limb. The Major Flare Watch will remain
active with NOAA 13842 as the target region, but close attention
should also be paid to NOAA 13844.
The position of NOAA 13842 on 5-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
S14W29, (452",-323")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a moderate-high level. The largest flare of
the last 24 hours was an M6.7 from NOAA 13843 at 20:09 UT yesterday.
NOAA 13842 did not produce another flare since the last message.
However, this region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta and now
has an area of 530 μh, while showing continual sunspot development.
The Major Flare Watch will remain active with NOAA 13842 as the target
region. Close attention should also be paid to NOAA 13843 and 13844 as
these regions have developed in complexity.
The position of NOAA 13842 on 4-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
S15W15, (240",-349")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has reached a high level. NOAA 13842 produced an X9.0
at 12:08 UT today as well as several M-class flares. NOAA 13842 has
grown in area, now reaching 380 μh. This region also continues to show
significant sunspot dynamism and flux. The Major Flare watch will
remain active. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a
chance for an additional >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13842 on 3-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
S15W01, (16",-354")
