Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a moderate-high level since the last message. Several flares were produced, the largest being an X1.4 on the southwest limb from NOAA 13843 at 15:44 UT yesterday. Additionally an M7.7 was produced from NOAA 13844 at 22:59 UT yesterday. Neither of these regions remain on the disk. NOAA 13848 has been quiet since the last message, however it remains the largest and most complex region on the disk. The Major Flare Watch will remain active for a further 24 hours with NOAA 13848 as the target region - attention should also be paid to NOAA 13852 as this region has shown notable sunspot dynamism in the last 24 hours. Further C- and M-class activity is expected with a chance for an isolated >M5 event.
The position of NOAA 13848 on 10-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
N12W32, (499",113")
