Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased a little bit. NOAA 13961 was the source of about ten low C-class flares, being the most productive region in the past 24 hours. This region has been designated as a beta-gamma/E-type configuration with increasing the sunspot area and number of spots. Today we will watch this region. Yesterday's target NOAA 13962 (N17E63) was designated as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type but has been flare quite. Please note that NOAA 13963 (N24E01, beta/C-type) produced three C3 flares during the period. Further C-class flares are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13961 on January 16 at 08:30 UT is: S09E53 (-771", -104")
