Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity has increased since the last message. The largest event was a C1.8 flare at 16:30 UT yesterday from the newly emerged active region NOAA 14505. This region has been the most productive, producing four ~C1 and eight mid-to-high B-class flares. It has been classified as a beta/B-type sunspot group. Today, 14505 becomes the new target. B-class activity is expected, with additional low-C flares likely over the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14505 on 10-Aug-2026 11:30 UT is:
N16W86 (907", 252")
