Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a persistent low level. The largest flare of
the last 24 hours was an M1.8 from NOAA 13990 at 20:45 UT yesterday. NOAA
13992 has shown considerable decay since the last message, where NOAA 13990
has continued to produce a small number of flares. Additionally, a cluster
of flares was produced from currently unnumbered active regions close to
the eastern limb. The target region will switch to NOAA 13990 as this shows
more sign of continued flare production. This region is currently
classified as a beta-gamma region. C-class activity is expected in the next
24 hours with the additional chance for isolated low M-class flares.
The position of NOAA 13990 on 15-February-2025 at 16:30 UT is:
S10E03, (-50", -53")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low level. The largest flare of the last 24
hours was an M1.3 from NOAA 13990 at 09:48 UT today. NOAA 13992 has shown a
slight increase in dynamic sunspot behaviour since the last message but
remains classified as a beta-gamma region. NOAA 13992 will continue as the
target region, however attention should also be paid to NOAA 13990. Further
C-class flares are anticipated with the chance for additional low M-class
activity.
The position of NOAA 13992 on 14-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
S06W33, (528", -4")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity persists at a low level. A small number of flares were
produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.1 at 11:05 UT today
from NOAA 13987 (in close proximity to NOAA 13992). NOAA 13990 and NOAA
13992 have been most active since the last message and both are classified
as beta-gamma regions. However, NOAA 13992 has shown much more sunspot
activity compared to NOAA 13990. Given this, NOAA 13992 will now be the new
target region. Additional C-class activity is expected with a slight chance
for an isolated low M-class flare in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13992 on 13-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
S06W18, (299", 7")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a low level. NOAA 13981 has now rotated fully
out of view - this region produced the largest flare of the last 24 hours
before rotating behind the limb; a partially occulted C7.7 at 13:28 UT
yesterday. In the southeastern quadrant, NOAA 13990 has developed into a
beta-gamma region, though it appears relatively stable. The target region
will switch to NOAA 13990. Further C-class activity is expected in the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13990 on 12-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
S09E47, (-703", -74")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a low level. NOAA 13981 was the site of
several partially occulted flares, the largest being an M1.6 at 05:22 UT
today. NOAA 13981 is almost fully beyond the northwest limb. New active
regions appear to be rotating onto the disk from the northeast and
southeast limb, although they have shown little activity. At present the
target region shall remain around NOAA 13981 and the northwestern limb in
an effort to catch further partially occulted events. Additional C-class
flares are expected.
The approximate position of NOAA 13981 on 11-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N07W91, (964", 115")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a low level. A small number of flares were
produced, the largest being an M1.0 from NOAA 13981 at 00:30 UT today. NOAA
13981 continues to traverse the northwest limb but remains in view.
Additional active regions from beyond the eastern limb appear to be
emerging and may move onto the disk in the coming days. NOAA 13981 will
continue as the target region while it remains in view. Additional C-class
activity is expected with a chance for a partially occulted event in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 10-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N07W76, (936", 144")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has reduced since the last message. The largest flares of
the last 24 hours were both C4.5 flares, from NOAA 13977 and NOAA 13981 at
00:49 UT and 02:33 UT today, respectively. NOAA 13981 has begun its
progression over the northwest limb, the region still shows signs of
emerging flux in short wavelengths, but may have diminished in area. At
this time, we are ending the Major Flare Watch but persisting with NOAA
13981 as the target region. Further C-class activity is likely in the next
24 hours with a slight chance for an isolated M-class event in the next 24
hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 09-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N08W63, (859", 184")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low-intermediate level. A number of flares were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M2.1 from NOAA 13981
at 08:57 UT today. NOAA 13981 is now classified as a beta-delta region as
it begins its approach of the northwestern limb. This region shall continue
to be monitored. The Major Flare Watch will remain active for now, with
NOAA 13981 as the target region. Further C-class activity is expected with
a chance for additional M-class activity in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 08-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-intermediate level and several flares were
produced in the last 24 hours. NOAA 13981 was the site of another M7.6
flare at 08:59 UT today. The emerging flux from this region remains high
and the dynamic sunspot behaviour continues. The Major Flare Watch will
remain active with NOAA 13981 as the target region. Additional C- and
M-class activity is likely with a chance for further >M5.0 flares in the
next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 07-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N08W38, (594", 220")

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a low-intermediate level. A number of flares were
produced in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M7.6 at 10:47 UT today
from NOAA 13981. This region has been persistently productive and has grown
to 430 μh, while retaining its beta-gamma-delta configuration. The Major
Flare Watch will continue with NOAA 13981 as the target region. Further C-
and M-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an
additional isolated >M5.0 event.
The position of NOAA 13981 on 06-February-2025 at 12:30 UT is:
N07W25, (409", 216")
