Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low-intermediate level. A number of flares were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M2.1 from NOAA 13981
at 08:57 UT today. NOAA 13981 is now classified as a beta-delta region as
it begins its approach of the northwestern limb. This region shall continue
to be monitored. The Major Flare Watch will remain active for now, with
NOAA 13981 as the target region. Further C-class activity is expected with
a chance for additional M-class activity in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 08-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N08W49, (728", 206")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-intermediate level and several flares were
produced in the last 24 hours. NOAA 13981 was the site of another M7.6
flare at 08:59 UT today. The emerging flux from this region remains high
and the dynamic sunspot behaviour continues. The Major Flare Watch will
remain active with NOAA 13981 as the target region. Additional C- and
M-class activity is likely with a chance for further >M5.0 flares in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 07-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N08W38, (594", 220")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low-intermediate level. A number of flares were
produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M7.6 at 10:47 UT today
from NOAA 13981. This region has been persistently productive and has grown
to 430 μh, while retaining its beta-gamma-delta configuration. The Major
Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13981 as the target region. Further C-
and M-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an
additional isolated >M5.0 event.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 06-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-intermediate level. Several flares were produced
in the last 24 hours. The largest being an M2.7 from NOAA 13977 at 07:44 UT
today. NOAA 13981 continues to grow in sunspot area and has strong emerging
flux. However, its level of sunspot dynamism appears to be reducing. As
NOAA 13981 continues to produce flares and remains complex, the Major Flare
Watch will be extended for a further 24 hours. Additional C-class activity
is likely with a slight chance for isolated >M5.0 events in the next 24-48
hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 05-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at an intermediate level since the last
message. Numerous flares were produced from NOAA 13981 including several
M-class flares, the largest being an M4.7 at 11:09 UT today. NOAA 13981
continues to show significant flux and high flare production rate. The
Major Flare Watch will remain active with NOAA 13981 as the target region.
Further M-class activity is likely with a chance for additional >M5.0
flares in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 04-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N05E02, (-33", 190")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message. A substantial number
of flares were produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M8.8 at
03:52 UT today from NOAA 13981. NOAA 13981 has shown rapid development in
complexity and flux. This region is currently classified as a
beta-gamma-delta and has produced over 25 flares since the last message,
three of which were >M5.0. The Major Flare Watch will continue and the
target region will switch to NOAA 13981. Further M-class activity is
possible with a chance for additional >M5.0 flares in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 03-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at an intermediate level. A large number of flares
have been produced since the last message, the largest being an M3.0 from
NOAA 13981 at 10:01 UT today. NOAA 13976 and the surrounding active regions
have produced significant activity over the last 24 hours. However, while
they still show strong emerging flux, they appear to have sighted reduced
in dynamism. The Major Flare Watch shall remain active for a further 24
hours while these regions continue to produce a large number of flares -
attention should be paid to NOAA 13976 and the surrounding 13977 and 13978.
Additional C-class activity is expected with a slight chance for an
isolated >M5.0 event in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13976 on 02-February-2025 at 08:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at an intermediate level. A number of flares were
produced, the largest being an M6.8 from NOAA 13978 at 13:40 UT yesterday.
NOAA 13976 has continued to show signs of emerging flux and sunspot
dynamism over the last 24 hours. The Major Flare Watch will continue with
NOAA 13976 and the surrounding regions (13977 and 13978) as the target.
Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a chance for an
additional isolated >M5.0 event in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13976 on 01-February-2025 at 08:30 UT is:
