Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region
NOAA 13112 continued to decay since the last message and is
now classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group, although this
is likely influenced by foreshortening effects as NOAA 13112
approaches the limb. This region was once again the source of
several C-class flares and the largest magnitude event in the
period with an M1.5 flare on 12-Oct-2022 at 23:54 UT. More
C-class flares are expected in the following 24-hour period,
with a chance for another low M-class flare before NOAA 13112
rotates over the North West limb.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 13-Oct-2022 at 18:30 UT is:
N25W75 , ( 842", 381" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13112
decayed over the past 24 hours and reconfigured some of its
intermediate spots to now be classed as a beta-gamma/F-type
sunspot group. This region has again produced C-class flares
including the largest magnitude event in the period with a
C8.8 on 12-Oct-2022 at 14:14 UT. Further C-class activity is
expected over the next 24 hours, with a chance for another
low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 12-Oct-2022 at 15:00 UT is:
N22W62 , ( 789", 315" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13112
decayed slightly overall, losing the delta in its leading spots
to now be classified as a beta/E-type sunspot group. This region
continued to be the most flare-productive region on disk, being
the source of several C-class flares and the largest magnitude
flares in the period with an M3.9 and M1.5 (on 11-Oct-2022 at
08:36 UT and 10:47 UT, respectively). Additional C-class flares
are expected in the following 24-hour period, with a good chance
of further low M-class flaring.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 11-Oct-2022 at 18:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Target region
NOAA 13112 decayed further in its trailing and intermediate
spots, now being classified as a beta-delta/F-type sunspot
group. This region continued to be the most flare-productive
region on disk, generating multiple C-class flares and the
largest magnitude flares in the period in an M1.0 and M2.4
(on 10-Oct-2022 at 00:35 UT and 16:35 UT, respectively).
More C-class activity is expected over the next 24 hours,
with a good chance of additional low M-class flares.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 10-Oct-2022 at 18:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13116 has
decayed slightly since the last message and again produced
a couple of C-class flares in the period. NOAA 13112 initially
grew slightly before decaying in the period, and is designated
as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group. This region has
increased in flaring frequency and was the most flare-productive
spot region since the last message. The target now returns to
NOAA 13112. Additional C-class activity is expected over the
following 24-hour period, with a small chance for a low M-class
flare.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 9-Oct-2022 at 19:30 UT is:
N22W27 , ( 405", 272" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13116 has
been stable since the last message, continuing to be designated
as a beta/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13116 again produced
C-class activity in the period, although the largest flare (a C6.6
on 8-Oct-2022 at 00:27 UT) came from the less-frequently flare
productive beta-delta/F-type group that is NOAA 13112. More
C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours, with a small
chance for a low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13116 on 8-Oct-2022 at 19:30 UT is:
N29W11 , ( 160", 373" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA
13112 has remained stable since the last message, continuing
to be designated as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group.
This region again produced multiple C-class flares in the period,
while the neighbouring NOAA 13116 (a beta/D-type sunspot
group) was the source of C-class activity and the largest flare
in the period - a long-duration M1.0 flare on 7-Oct-2022 at
14:21 UT. The target now switches to NOAA 13116. Further
C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period,
with a chance for another low M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13116 on 7-Oct-2022 at 19:30 UT is:

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13110
has now fully rotated over the North West limb. NOAA 13112
continues to be classified as the most complex region on the
visible disk, designated as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot
group. However, this now appears to be three smaller regions
in close proximity with the leading region containing the
delta spot configuration. NOAA 13112 again only produced
C-class activity in the period. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch
comes to an end and the default target now switches to NOAA
13112. C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13112 on 6-Oct-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N22E11 , ( -174", 260" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA
13110 remained stable as it rotated up to the North West limb and
continued to be classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. This
region continued to be flare productive and was the source of
C-class activity. NOAA 13112 remains the most magnetically complex
region on the visible disk being classified as beta-gamma-delta/F-type
sunspot group. However, NOAA 13112 again only produced C-class
activity in the period. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will continue
for a final 24 hours with the limb-crossing location of NOAA 13110
as its target (while the region's high-lying loops remain visible).
C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with
a chance for M-class flaring.
The position of NOAA 13110 on 5-Oct-2022 at 19:30 UT is:
N18W90 , ( 912" , 294" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA
13110 has remained fairly stable over the past 24 hours and
continues to be classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group
(admittedly affected by foreshortening effects due to its
location approaching the North West limb). This region has
continued to be the most active sunspot region, being the
source of several C-class flares and two low M-class flares
since the last message (an M1.7 on 3-Oct-2022 at 21:11 UT
and an M1.6 on 4-Oct-2022 at 12:48 UT). Despite being the
most magnetically complex region on the visible disk, NOAA
13112 (beta-gamma-delta/F-type) only produced a few C-class
flares in the period. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch continues
with the target as NOAA 13110 for another 24 hours. More low
M-class flares are probable in the next 24 hours, with a
chance of an additional flare >M5.
The position of NOAA 13110 on 4-Oct-2022 at 20:00 UT is:
N18W76 , ( 886", 269" )
