Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar flare activity is at a low level. Since the previous message, a C1.5 flare was released from behind the West limb on 2-Oct-2013 at 21:51 UT, followed by C1.5 flare released from a decayed plage region (S19E43) on 3-Oct-2013 at 00:06 UT, coinciding with a filament lift-off. Neither of the regions show significant evidence of potential for further activity. Although yesterday's target region (NOAA 11855) has the largest spot area of the ARs on disk it now shows signs of decay and no evidence of activity. On the other hand, a C2 flare is currently in progress within NOAA 11856, which may be destabilised by nearby NOAA 11857. B-class activity is expected with a chance for a further isolated low C-class flare.

The position of NOAA 11856 on 3-Oct-2013 at 21:00 UT is:

N08E57, ( -801", 74" )
