Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. A small number of flares were
produced, the largest being a C9.1 from NOAA 14233 at 19:55 UT yesterday.
NOAA 14236 has almost passed beyond the solar limb, it remains in proximity
to several active regions that are transiting the northwestern limb
including NOAA 12433. This region will likely move out of view in the next
24 hours, but until then NOAA 14236 and the surrounding regions will remain
the target. Further C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 08-October-2025 at 00:30 UT is
N09W90, (948", 149")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has reduced further since the last message. A small number
of flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being a C5.1
from NOAA 14233 at 20:22 UT yesterday. NOAA 14236 is now progressing over
the northwestern limb and continues to remain one of the strongest emitting
regions currently in view. While NOAA 14236 passes over the limb, it will
continue as the target region. Further C-class activity is expected in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 07-October-2025 at 00:30 UT is
N10W76, (918", 140")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has further reduced since the last message. Several flares
were produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being a C4.2 from NOAA
14244 at 00:29 UT today. As NOAA 12436 progresses further toward the
northwestern limb, the apparent complexity of the region has reduced,
however this region, and those in its proximity, still appear to host
notable activity. While this region remains in view, it will continue as
the target region. Further C-class activity is likely in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 06-October-2025 at 00:30 UT is

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 C3.5 from NOAA 14241 at
17:45 UT yesterday. NOAA 14236 has remained quiet since the last message as
it begins to approach the northwestern limb. However, as this region
retains its beta-gamma classification, it will continue as the target
region. Further C-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 05-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W50, (725", 97")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has further reduced. A number of flares were produced in the
last 24 hours, the largest being a C8.0 at 15:15 UT yesterday from NOAA
14238. The target region has reduced in complexity, and is now classified
as a beta-gamma type region. NOAA 14236 will remain the target region given
its apparent size and emerging flux. Further C-class activity is expected
in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 04-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W38, (583", 80")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has slightly reduced. Several flares were produced in the
last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.5 from NOAA 14236 at 05:00 UT today.
NOAA 14236 has reduced in complexity and is now classified as a beta-gamma
type region. Meanwhile, NOAA 14232, in close proximity to NOAA 14236, is
now classified as a beta-gamma-delta region. The area surrounding these
regions contains substantial emerging flux. As such, NOAA 14236 will remain
the target region. Further C-class activity is expected with additional
isolated low M-class events.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 03-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W21, (339", 64")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at an intermediate level. A small number of flares
were produced in the last 24 hours, with two M1.2 flares being produced at
16:36 UT yesterday and 02:00 UT today from NOAA 14232 and NOAA 14226,
respectively. Both NOAA 14230 and NOAA 14236 remain classified as
beta-gamma-delta regions and have both achieved equal sunspot areas. Given
the proximity of NOAA 14230 to the limb, the target region will now switch
to NOAA 14236. Additionally, given the lack of substantial activity from
either region, we are ending the MFW at this time. However, close attention
should still be paid to the development of the target region. Further
C-class and low M-class activity is expected.
The position of NOAA 14236 on 02-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N10W07, (115", 57")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at an intermediate level. Several flares were
produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.2 from NOAA 14232 at
02:15 UT today. There are now two active regions on the disk that are
classified as beta-gamma-delta regions. These are NOAA 14230 and NOAA 14236
respectively. As NOAA 14230 is surrounded by several other active regions
and is in an area of substantial emerging flux, this will become the
primary target region. However, attention should also be paid to the larger
of the two regions, NOAA 14236. Given this occurrence, the MFW will be
sustained for a further 24 hours due to the increased probability of a
large flare. Additional M-class activity is likely, with a chance for an
isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 14230 on 01-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is
S11W44, (655", -261")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity persists at an elevated level. The largest flare produced
since the last message was an M2.7 from NOAA 14227 at 09:33 UT today. NOAA
14232 produced an additional M1.2 event in the last 24 hours and continues
to show signs of elevated flux. NOAA 14232 will remain the target region
and the MFW will remain active for what may be the last 24 hours. Further
isolated M-class events are possible with a very small chance for a >M5
event.
The position of NOAA 14232 on 30-September-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N05E28, (-449", -16")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity levels remain elevated. Several flares have been produced
since the last message, the largest being an M3.6 at 01:37 UT today. NOAA
14232 has further increased in complexity over the last 24 hours and is now
classified as a beta-gamma type region. While no major flares were produced
since the last message, the MFW will remain active for a further 24 hours
due to the continued development of the target region. Further M-class
activity is expected in the coming 24 hours, with a slight chance for an
additional >M5 event.
The position of NOAA 14232 on 29-September-2025 at 11:30 UT is
