Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. A small number of flares were produced in the
last 24 hours, the largest being a C1.8 from NOAA 14246 at 21:56 UT
yesterday. The bright region beyond the southeastern limb continues to
progress onto the disk, however no new active regions have been numbered
since the last message. Due to the substantial decay of NOAA 14249 and the
increase in complexity of NOAA 14248 to a beta-gamma type region, the
target region will switch to NOAA 14248. Further C-class activity is
expected.
The position of NOAA 14248 on 11-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N08E40, (-613", 55")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a very low level. An occulted M2.0 was produced
at 12:11 UT today yesterday from over the northwestern limb attributed to
NOAA 12436. Part of the region surrounding the southeastern limb has now
been numbered as NOAA 14249, however there are additional regions still
beyond the limb. NOAA 14247 has shown signs of decay, in anticipation of
the development of the southeastern limb regions, NOAA 14249 will be the
new target region. Additional C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14249 on 10-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
S18E57, (-767", -349")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a very low level. Only five flares were produced
in the last 24 hours, the largest was a C1.7 from NOAA 14241 at 05:09 UT
today. NOAA 14236 has now passed beyond the northwestern limb. The solar
disk appears quite sparse, for now we will switch the target region to NOAA
14247 as this region shows a small amount of emerging flux. However, the
target region may change again soon, as a large bright region appears to be
making its way over the southeastern limb. For now, a low level of C-class
activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14247 on 09-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. A small number of flares were
produced, the largest being a C9.1 from NOAA 14233 at 19:55 UT yesterday.
NOAA 14236 has almost passed beyond the solar limb, it remains in proximity
to several active regions that are transiting the northwestern limb
including NOAA 12433. This region will likely move out of view in the next
24 hours, but until then NOAA 14236 and the surrounding regions will remain
the target. Further C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 08-October-2025 at 00:30 UT is
N09W90, (948", 149")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has reduced further since the last message. A small number
of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C5.1
from NOAA 14233 at 20:22 UT yesterday. NOAA 14236 is now progressing over
the northwestern limb and continues to remain one of the strongest emitting
regions currently in view. While NOAA 14236 passes over the limb, it will
continue as the target region. Further C-class activity is expected in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 07-October-2025 at 00:30 UT is
N10W76, (918", 140")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has further reduced since the last message. Several flares
were produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being a C4.2 from NOAA
14244 at 00:29 UT today. As NOAA 12436 progresses further toward the
northwestern limb, the apparent complexity of the region has reduced,
however this region, and those in its proximity, still appear to host
notable activity. While this region remains in view, it will continue as
the target region. Further C-class activity is likely in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 06-October-2025 at 00:30 UT is

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. A small number of flares were
produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being a C3.5 from NOAA 14241 at
17:45 UT yesterday. NOAA 14236 has remained quiet since the last message as
it begins to approach the northwestern limb. However, as this region
retains its beta-gamma classification, it will continue as the target
region. Further C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 05-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W50, (725", 97")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has further reduced. A number of flares were produced in the
last 24 hours, the largest being a C8.0 at 15:15 UT yesterday from NOAA
14238. The target region has reduced in complexity, and is now classified
as a beta-gamma type region. NOAA 14236 will remain the target region given
its apparent size and emerging flux. Further C-class activity is expected
in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 04-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W38, (583", 80")

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")
