Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has dropped to a high-M level. The two largest 
events since the last message were an M6.7 flare at 11:15 UT 
yesterday and an M7.2 flare at 06:43 UT today, produced by 
the target region NOAA 14366. This region has retained a 
beta-gamma-delta/E-type and continued to increase in area to 
730 μh, developing substantial new spots. More low-M activity 
is expected, with a good chance for another >M5 flare in the 
following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14366 on 3-Feb-2026 12:30 UT is:

N14E14 (-229", 334")
