Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has reached a high level due to an eruptive M5.8 
flare at 13:19 UT yesterday from NOAA 14436. This region has 
been classified as beta/D-type. At this point, we are implementing 
a Major Flare Watch on 14436. Yesterday’s target NOAA 14432 
(N14W60, beta‑gamma/E-type) has produced multiple low‑C and 
B-class flares, showing significant magnetic flux emergence. 
Additional C-class activity is expected, with the possibility of 
another >M5 from 14436 within the next 48 hours.
 
The position of NOAA 14436 on 11-May-2026 at 07:30 UT is:

N19E51 (-699", 340")
