Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a moderate level. The largest event over the past 24 hours was an M1.9 flare at 22:38 UT yesterday
produced by a newly numbered region NOAA 14048 (S15E75).
14048 also produced another two low M-class flares (M1.4 and
M1.5) and 13 C-class flares. This region was designated as a
beta/D-type configuration and has a highest current helicity
compared with the other active regions. The target region
NOAA 14046 only produced two low C-class flares during the
period. It retains a beta/C-type configuration. Considering that
it has a largest sunspot area of 270 uh and shows some new
flux emergence, today we continue to watch this region with
a Major Flare Watch campaign for another 24 hours. Further
low M-class activities are expected from the target region and
also from NOAA 14048, with some chance of a >M5 flare in
the next few days.
