Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity returns to a low level. NOAA 14168 produced several flares,
the largest being an M1.2 at 02:00 UT today. NOAA 14167 has reduced in
apparent complexity and size, however we note that this region is also
positioned at the northwestern limb and subject to projection effects. NOAA
14168 remains classified as a beta-gamma-delta and continues to show signs
of increased sunspot dynamism. Given the location and sustained activity
from this region, NOAA 14168 will be the new target region for the next 24
hours. Additional C- and M-class activity is anticipated.
The position of NOAA 14168 on 05-August-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N05W04, (65", -17")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly increased. Multiple flares were produced over
the last 24 hours, the largest being an M2.9 from NOAA 14168 at 13:50 UT
yesterday. Both NOAA 14167 and NOAA 14168 have developed into
beta-gamma-delta regions, with NOAA 14167 increasing in size to 430 μh.
Both regions have demonstrated an increase in sunspot dynamism. While NOAA
14167 will remain the target region, additional attention should be paid to
NOAA 14168, with potential for a Major Flare Watch to be initiated in the
next 24-48 hours. Chances of further isolated M-class flares in the next
24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 14167 on 04-August-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W59, (799", 113")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a low level. NOAA 14167 produced a number of
flares in the last 24 hours, the largest being a C3.5 at 09:17 UT today.
NOAA 14167 has almost quadrupled in size since the last message, but shows
a reduction in dynamic sunspot behaviour. This region remains classified as
a beta-gamma region and shall continue to be monitored as the target
region. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14167 on 03-August-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N12W45, (665", 128")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. A number of flares were produced in
the last 24 hours, the largest being a C3.7 from NOAA 14153 at 10:59 UT
today. NOAA 14167 still shows notable sunspot dynamism despite not yet
producing any large flares, and remains classified as a beta-gamma region.
NOAA 14167 will continue as the target region, with further C-class
activity expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14167 on 02-August-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W31, (481", 81")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity persists at a low level. Several low C-class events were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C3.4 from NOAA 14153
at 12:12 UT today. NOAA 14167 has developed significantly over the last 24
hours, now classified as a beta-gamma type region and showing promising
sunspot dynamism. The target region will switch to NOAA 14167 for the next
24 hours, further C-class activity is expected with a very slight chance
for a low M-class event.
The approximate position of NOAA 14167 on 01-August-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N09W14, (223", 56")

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 C2.1 from NOAA 14161 at
19:23 UT yesterday. Activity on the solar disk appears relatively quiet
with low levels of emerging flux. NOAA 14155 still retains the highest
number of sunspots of any region on the disk and shows minor evidence of
sunspot dynamism. NOAA 14155 will continue as the target region. Further
C-class activity is anticipated.
The approximate position of NOAA 14155 on 31-July-2025 at 11:30 UT is
S09W29, (459", -150")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a low level, but has shown a small increase
since yesterday. A number of flares were produced in the last 24 hours, the
largest being a C4.7 from NOAA 14155 at 05:57 UT today. NOAA 14155 has
shown a slight increase in sunspot dynamism while NOAA 14161 has remained
dormant. NOAA 14155 is currently classified as a beta-type region and will
be the new target region for the next 24 hours. Additional C-class activity
is expected.
The approximate position of NOAA 14155 on 30-July-2025 at 11:30 UT is
S09W14, (229", -150")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. Several low C-class flares were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C3.1 from NOAA 14155
at 05:21 UT today. NOAA 14161 has remained dormant since the last message
and general activity levels on the disk appear low. NOAA 14161 will
continue as the target region while conditions remain quiet. Further
C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14161 on 29-July-2025 at 03:30 UT is:
S13E59, (-790", -257")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a low level. A number of small flares were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C3.1 from NOAA 14161
at 18:32 UT yesterday. NOAA 14161 is the newly numbered active region in
the southeastern portion of the disk. While this region is currently
classified as an alpha type region, this classification may change as the
region moves further onto the disk. For now, NOAA 14161 shows notable signs
of emerging flux and several closed-loop structures. NOAA 14161 will be the
target region for the next 24 hours, with additional C-class activity
expected.
The position of NOAA 14161 on 28-July-2025 at 11:30 UT is
S13E68, (-854", -244")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues to be low but slightly increased from the
last message. Several low-C class flares were reported from multiple
regions. The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C3.4 flare at
8:58 UT today(7/27) from a plage region located at S04E05.
No flare was reported from the target region, NOAA 14149, and three
flares were reported from NOAA 14155 since the last message.
A region rotated from the Southeast limb (at the latitude of South
14 degree) produced 8 low-C flares in the past 24 hours. A medium
sized sunspot can be seen although it is too close to the limb to
figure out the configuration. Today, we will switch the target to
this unnumbered Southeast limb region because of the frequent flare
history. Additional C class events are expected.
The position of the target on 27-July-2025 at 15:30 UT is:
S13E81 (-907", -234").
