Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to an intermediate level since the
last message. The largest event was a C6.6 flare at 21:04 UT
yesterday from a region between NOAAs 14224 (beta-gamma/D-type,
S13W15) and 14223 (alpha/A-type, S17W14). To the east of
14223, NOAA 14217 produced six low-C flares, with its largest
being a C2.7 at 21:27 UT yesterday. 14217 retains a beta/E-type
sunspot group, with the emergence of new spots. Today, the
target shall switch to NOAA 14217. Yesterday’s target, NOAA
14220 (beta-gamma/E-type, S18W62) was merely the source of
a C2.3 flare at 17:01 UT yesterday. Additional low-C activity is
expected in the following 24 hours.
