Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has decreased further since the last message. NOAA 14246 (N24W76) remains the most flare-productive region on the visible disk, producing more than 20 C-class and six low M-class flares during the period, including the largest event, an M1.5 at 01:15 UT today. We are ending the Major Flare Watch but will continue to monitor NOAA 14246 as the target region. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance of low M-class events.
The position of NOAA 14246 on 17-October-2025 at 11:30 UT is:
N24W76, (853",368")
