Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has decreased to an intermediate level since the last message. 
The largest event during the period was a C8.0 flare at 19:09 UT yesterday, 
attributed to NOAA 14342 (N14E03, beta/D-type). However, flares from other 
regions (e.g., NOAA 14349) also contributed to the soft X-ray flux. Target 
region NOAA 14341 has remained flare-quiet throughout the period and has 
decreased in magnetic complexity, now classified as beta-gamma/D-type. 
Nearby region NOAA 14345 produced several C-class flares during the period. 

The Major Flare Watch campaign will continue for a final 24 hours for NOAA 
14341 due to its flare history. If possible, please also include NOAA 14345 in 
your field of view. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of an 
isolated >M5 flare within the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14341 on 20-Jan-2026 12:30 UT is:

S11W04 (67",-101")
