Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity had been low-to-moderate level until the end of yesterday(11/30), but has been elevated earlier today because of an X1.9 flare at 02:27 UT from the Northeastern limb. This yet unnumbered region also produced 2 nearly-M class (C9.0 and C9.9) flares yesterday.
The target region, NOAA 14294 further developed both in size and magnetic complexity, now having reached over 1000 millionths and classified as a beta-gamma-delta type. However, it produced only 3 low-to-mid C class flares during the past 24 hours. In the Eastern proximity to this region, there is a moderate-sized bi-polar region (500 millionths) rotated into our view and assigned as NOAA 14296, having produced several mid-to-high C class flares since yesterday.
Today, our Major Flare Watch campaign will continue, but the target will be switched to the yet unnumbered Northeastern limb region anticipating additional flare activity larger than M5. However, close attention should also be paid to the previous target, NOAA 14294, because of its recent development in size and magnetic complexity.
The position of the target (unnumbered Northeast limb region) on 1-December-2025 at 16:30 UT is: N22E75 (-866", 374").
