Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at an intermediate level. The target region NOAA 13538 continued to be the most flare-productive region as it approaches the northwest limb, being the source of several low and mid-to-high C-class flares, as well as the largest magnitude event in the period - a C9.6 at 03:18 UT today. NOAA 13538 shall remain the target region due to its recent high flaring productivity. Please note that NOAA 13536 (N06W47, beta-gamma/E-type) and a southeast limb region (unnumbered yet, S20E88) also produced a few mid-to-high C-class flares in the period. More C-class flares are expected, with chance for low M-class flares over the next 24–48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13538 on 10-Jan-2024 at 08:30 UT is:
N20W72, (872",352")
