Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has increased to an intermediate level since the 
last message. The largest event was a C5.5 flare at 06:31 UT 
today, produced by NOAA 14435. This region has become the 
most productive and has increased in magnetic complexity, 
now being classified as a beta/C-type. Yesterday’s target NOAA 
14432 produced four low-C flares as it rotated out of earth view. 
Today NOAA 14435 becomes the new target. Further C-class 
activity is expected in the coming 24 hours.
 
The position of NOAA 14435 on 14-May-2026 at 11:30 UT is:

N23W62 (772", 390")
