Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a moderate level since the last message. The largest event during the period was an M1.2 flare at 07:45 UT today from the target region NOAA 14524 (N12E59, alpha/H-type). 14524 also produced seven C-class flares during the period, including C7.9 and C7.1 flares, and showed an increase in sunspot area. NOAA 14523 (N10E29, beta/C-type) produced three C-class flares, including a C6.9. Today, we will continue to watch NOAA 14524 as the target region. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of additional low M-class activity in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14524 on September 4 at 11:30 UT is:
N12E59 (-799", 136")
