Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly reduced. Several flares were produced in the
last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.5 from NOAA 14236 at 05:00 UT today.
NOAA 14236 has reduced in complexity and is now classified as a beta-gamma
type region. Meanwhile, NOAA 14232, in close proximity to NOAA 14236, is
now classified as a beta-gamma-delta region. The area surrounding these
regions contains substantial emerging flux. As such, NOAA 14236 will remain
the target region. Further C-class activity is expected with additional
isolated low M-class events.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 03-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W21, (339", 64")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at an intermediate level. A small number of flares
were produced in the last 24 hours, with two M1.2 flares being produced at
16:36 UT yesterday and 02:00 UT today from NOAA 14232 and NOAA 14226,
respectively. Both NOAA 14230 and NOAA 14236 remain classified as
beta-gamma-delta regions and have both achieved equal sunspot areas. Given
the proximity of NOAA 14230 to the limb, the target region will now switch
to NOAA 14236. Additionally, given the lack of substantial activity from
either region, we are ending the MFW at this time. However, close attention
should still be paid to the development of the target region. Further
C-class and low M-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 02-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W07, (115", 57")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at an intermediate level. Several flares were
produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.2 from NOAA 14232 at
02:15 UT today. There are now two active regions on the disk that are
classified as beta-gamma-delta regions. These are NOAA 14230 and NOAA 14236
respectively. As NOAA 14230 is surrounded by several other active regions
and is in an area of substantial emerging flux, this will become the
primary target region. However, attention should also be paid to the larger
of the two regions, NOAA 14236. Given this occurrence, the MFW will be
sustained for a further 24 hours due to the increased probability of a
large flare. Additional M-class activity is likely, with a chance for an
isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 14230 on 01-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
S11W44, (655", -261")
