Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity has increased due to an M4.5 flare at
05:01 UT today from an unnumbered region near the northeast
limb, which was mentioned yesterday. This region subsequently
produced a C9.9 flare while its sunspot group was partially visible
from Earth. Yesterday’s target has been numbered as NOAA 14196
(S11E58, alpha/A-type) and NOAA 14197 (S17E60, beta/D-type).
14197 was the source of an M1.0 at 09:04 UT today and some
C-class flares. Today, the limb region should become the new target,
considering a higher possibility of additional M-class flares occurring
within the following 24-48 hours.
