mainly reported from NOAA 14294. This region produced 7 M class
being an M3.1 flare at 21:13 UT yesterday(12/8). NOAA 14299 in the
Northern hemisphere produced 2 low-M class flares. NOAA 14298,
the current Major Flare Watch target has been flare-quiet since the
X1.1 event yesterday.
NOAA 14294 added new flux in the Northwest of the largest sunspot
(with positive polarity). A train of tiny negative sunspots appeared
and that maintains its complex magnetic configuration of a delta type.
In the next 24 hours, we will continue the Major Flare Watch campaign
with the target switched to NOAA 14294. Additional M-class flares
are expected with the chance of events larger than M5.
The position of the target in NOAA 14294 on 9-December-2025
at 16:30 UT is: S14W51 (744", -237").
