Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a high-to-low level. The largest event 
since the last message was an M8.9 flare at 16:18 UT yesterday 
from the target region NOAA 14098. This region also produced 
four low-to-mid C-class flares. 14098 has grown in spot maturity 
to display larger penumbrae on its leading portion, changing it to 
a beta-gamma/D-type magnetic configuration. Today the Major 
Flare Watch will remain in effect with NOAA 14098. More low-M 
activity is probable, with a chance for a >M5 flare in the following 
24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14098 on 26-May-2025 at 11:30 UT is:

S04W64 (850", -56")
