Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low, with GOES soft X-ray flux around C2.
More than ten low C-class flares have been produced since the
last message, the largest being a C2.3 flare from NOAA 14082
(S11E42), which has developed into a beta–gamma configuration.
The target region NOAA 14079 (N08W19) increased in size to
1230 μh and in complexity to a beta–gamma–delta classification,
producing three low C-class flares in the period. NOAA 14079
shall remain the target region, and further C-class activity is
expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 6-May-2025 at 11:30 UT is:
N08W19 (307",188")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. Several low C-class flares were
produced since the last message, the largest being two C1.8 flares
from NOAA 14082 (S11E61, beta/D-type) and the target region NOAA
14079 (N08W03, beta-gamma/E-type). NOAA 14079 retains its size
and complexity and is undergoing some new flux emergence in the
northern portion of the main positive sunspot. NOAA 14079 shall
continue as the target region, with further C-class activity expected
over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 5-May-2025 at 07:30 UT is:
N08W03 (49",194")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. NOAA 14079 remains unchanged in
terms of size and complexity since the last message, and has remained
quiescent. A small EFR in the southeast quadrant was the source of a C5.4
flare at 12:26 UT today. NOAA 14079 shall continue as the target region for
a further 24 hours although no significant increase in activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 4-May-2025 at 11:30 UT is:
N08E08, ( -131", 195" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux remains steady around the low C-level. The target region
NOAA 14079 has remained relatively quiescent since the last message, the
largest event being a C3.7 flare at 21:39 UT yesterday. The region has now
been downgraded to a beta-gamma region and remains unchanged in terms of
size. Only isolated low-level events expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 3-May-2025 at 11:30 UT is:
N07E20, ( -324", 177" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. The target region NOAA 14079 is now
classified as a beta-gamma-delta region but has remained quiescent. The
region has increased in size slightly since the last message, and shows
signs of rotation in its leader spot, but only low-to-intermediate levels
of activity are expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 2-May-2025 at 11:30 UT is:
N08E34, ( -528", 187" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to a low level. NOAA 14079 produced only a
small number of low C-class flares since the last message. This region has
now more than doubled in apparent sunspot area to 1040 μh. NOAA 10479
appears to demonstrate large closed-loop structures within the region. NOAA
14079 will remain the target region and should continue to be monitored
closely. Further C-class activity is likely in the next 24 hours.
The approximate position of NOAA 14079 on 01-May-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N08E47 (-688", 179")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained consistent since the last message. Several
flares were produced, the largest being an M2.0 from NOAA 14079 at 07:41 UT
today. NOAA 14079 has progressed further onto the solar disk and is now
classified as a beta-gamma region with a sunspot area of 560 μh. NOAA 14079
currently appears to be relatively stable in behaviour and does not appear
to reach the criteria for a Major Flare Watch, however this region should
be monitored closely for further development. NOAA 14079 will remain the
target region, with a chance for additional isolated M-class flares in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 30-April-2025 at 11:30 UT is:
N08E60 (-818", 167")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly increased since the last message. Newly
numbered active region, NOAA 14079, has traversed onto the disk from the
northeastern limb and was the site of an M1.7 flare and several additional
C-class flares over the last 24 hours. Currently this region is classified
as a beta-type region but more may become apparent as this region
progresses further onto the disk. Imaging suggests a pair of large sunspots
to be within close proximity to each other that may evolve further in the
next 24-48 hours. NOAA 14079 will be the new target region, with a chance
for further isolated M-class events in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14079 on 29-April-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N08E67 (-869", 160")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a very low level. A small number of flares were
produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being a C2.3 at 05:46 UT today
attributed to NOAA 14067. NOAA 14064 has remained quiet, producing only two
flares since the last message. This region continues to reduce in sunspot
area but retains its beta type configuration. NOAA 14064 will continue as
the target region, with minor C-class activity expected in the next 24
hours.
The position of NOAA 14064 on 28-April-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N12W79 (915", 211")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be at a very low level with the GOES
soft X-ray flux flat at ~C1. Only two C1 flares (C1.2 and C1.3)
were produced by NOAA 14075 (S11E27, now a plage region)
and a region near the southeast limb (S18E88). The target region
NOAA 14064 was flare quiet since the last message. It retains
a beta/D-type configuration but significantly decreases the sunspot
area and number of spots as it is rotating to the west limb. Today
we will continue to watch this region for another 24 hours. Only
C-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14064 on April 27 at 11:30 UT is:
N12W66 (852", 227")
