Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a low-to-moderate level since the last
message. The largest events in the last 24 hours were two consecutive
near-M class flares (C9.8 at 19:04 UT and another M1.0 at 19:25 UT
on 3/17) both from NOAA 14033 in the Northeastern quadrant. After
these events, however, the tiny sunspots of this region vanished.
The target region, NOAA 14028 produced two low-C class flares. This
region retains a beta-gamma type magnetic configuration, but its
sunspots started to fade in the recent 12 hours.

NOAA 14025 in the Northwest quadrant also produced two low-C class
flares in the last 12 hours and is increasing both its sunspot area
and number of sunspots. Today our default target will switch to NOAA
14025, at the central area of mixed polarity. Additional C class events
are expected.

The position of the target in NOAA 14025 on 18-March-2025 at
16:00 UT is: N09W33  (524", 256").
