Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity persists at a low level. The largest flare produced in the
last 24 hours was a C1.8 from NOAA 14374 at 23:07 UT yesterday. The target
region at the southeastern limb has begun to progress onto the solar disk.
As of this time, it does not yet have an active region number assigned.
Further C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours as this region
continues to progress into view.
The approximate position of the Target Region on 18-February-2026 at 12:30
UT is:
S09E70, (-902", -111")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. A small number of events were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C1.1 flare at 12:10 UT
yesterday from an unnumbered active region in the southeastern quadrant,
close to the disk centre. The target region has continued to produce a
small number of additional partially-occulted flares since the last
message. The target region will remain as the region located over the
southeastern limb as it continues to progress onto the disk. Further
C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of the Target Region on 17-February-2026 at 12:30
UT is:
S06E80, (-950", -80")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar remains at a low level. Since the last message, a partially occulted
M2.5 flare was produced from a currently unnumbered active region beyond
the southeastern limb at 04:03 UT today. This region was also the site of
several further occulted flares in previous days. Due to the activity
associated with this region, the target region will now switch to the
southeastern limb around the site of the M-class flare. Further activity is
expected from this region as it begins to transit onto the disk.
The approximate position of the Target Region on 16-February-2026 at 12:30
UT is:
S09E84, (-954", -139")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a very low level. One C-class flare was
produced at 07:19 UT today from an unnumbered active region in the
southwestern quadrant. NOAA 14373 has shown further signs of decay.
Elsewhere a large coronal hole occupies much of the space on the disk. For
now, NOAA 14373 will continue as the target region, with low C-class
activity expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14373 on 15-February-2026 at 12:30 UT is
N10W50, (734", 241")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. A small number of flares were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C6.0 from NOAA 14374
at 11:02 UT today. Both NOAA 14374 and 14373 have remained relatively quiet
since the last message and have shown signs of decay. NOAA 14373 will
continue as the target region, further low C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14373 on 14-February-2026 at 16:30 UT is
N10W40, (616", 255")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. The largest flare produced in the last 24
hours was an M1.1 from NOAA 14373 at 08:28 UT today. Since the last
message, only a handful of flares were produced. NOAA 14374 remains
classified as a beta-type region. Both NOAA 14373 and NOAA 14374 have shown
signs of increased sunspot dynamism in the last 24 hours, and have signs of
emerging flux. NOAA 14373 will be the new target region, however NOAA 14374
should also be monitored closely. Further C-class activity is expected,
with a chance for additional isolated M-class events in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14373 on 13-February-2026 at 12:30 UT is
N09W23, (376", 255")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has further reduced since the last message. Several flares
have been produced since the last message, the largest being an M1.4 from
NOAA 14367 at 02:29 UT today. NOAA 14366 has now passed beyond the
northwestern solar limb. A large coronal hole is currently visible on disk
and appears to extend beyond the southeastern limb. NOAA 14374 lies in
close proximity to the northeastern edge of this region, currently
classified as a beta-type region, and the source of a C7.2 flare in the
last 24 hours. The target region will switch to NOAA 14374 for the next 24
hours, further C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14374 on 12-February-2026 at 12:30 UT is
N11E38, (-589", 272")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-moderate level. NOAA 14366 was the site of
several M-class flares, the largest being two partially occulted M1.4
flares at 00:50 and 12:47 UT today, respectively. As NOAA 14366 traverses
the northwestern limb, it continues to show signs of emerging flux and
flare activity. While it remains in view, NOAA 14366 will continue to be
the target region. Further C-class activity is likely with the chance for
further occulted flares in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14366 on 11-February-2026 at 12:30 UT is
N14W91, (942", 231")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has reduced slightly. NOAA 14366 produced over ten C-class
flares in the last 24 hours, but the largest flare produced since the last
message was a C9.2 from NOAA 14374 at 18:01 UT yesterday. NOAA 14366 has
begun its transit of the northwest limb, at this time, it remains
classified as a beta-gamma-delta. The region shows substantial coronal flux
and should be monitored closely during its progression over the solar limb.
Further C-class flares are expected with a chance for isolated M-class
activity.

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at an elevated level. Several flares have been
produced since the last message, the largest being an M2.8 from NOAA 14366
at 02:14 UT today. NOAA 14366 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta as
it begins its approach of the northwestern limb. The region continues to
show signs of emerging flux and is likely to produce further activity over
the next 24 hours. NOAA 14366 will continue as the target region,
additional C-class is expected with a chance for further isolated M-class
events.
