Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has decreased to an intermediate level in
the past 24 hours. Several >C5 flares were produced by
two active regions on the disk. A newly emerged active
region NOAA 14330 (S16E09) produced two ~C6 flares.
The target region NOAA 14324 was the source of a C6.3
flare at 17:27 UT yesterday. This region has increased in
magnetic complexity to be classified as a beta-gamma/D-type.
Today, the Major Flare Watch shall be extended for a further
24 hours with NOAA 14324. Further C-class activity is expected,
with a chance for an isolated >M5 flare in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14324 on 2-Jan-2025 08:30 UT is:
N24W07 (109", 446")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has reached a high level, due to an M7.1 flare
at 13:12 UT yesterday from NOAA 14324. This region been
classified as a beta/D-type. Today, we are issuing a Major
Flare Watch alert and NOAA 14324 should become the new
target. Furthermore, Yesterday’s target NOAA 14325 (S08W01,
beta-delta/E-type) also produced multiple C-class flares.
Further C-class activity is expected, with the increased
possibility of another >M5 flare from these two regions within
the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 14324 on 1-Jan-2025 08:30 UT is:
N24E06 (-93", 444")
