Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a low level. The largest event since 
the last message was a C3.1 flare at 01:27 UT today from the 
target region NOAA 14324. This region has been classified as 
a beta-delta/D-type sunspot group, but it seems to display 
magnetic signs of decay. Today, we will extend the Major Flare 
Watch with NOAA 14324 for the last 24 hours. More low-C 
activity is expected, with a slight chance for an >M5 flare in 
the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14324 on 3-Jan-2025 12:30 UT is:

N24W22 (335", 445")
