Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a very low level. The largest event since the last message was a C2.6 flare at ~04:00 UT today from NOAA 13256 (S23W38). 13256 has increased in size and complexity, and is now classified as a beta-gamma/E-type region. Today the target shall switch to this region. The neighbouring regions NOAA 13257 (S27W18, alpha/H-type) and 13259 (S22W24, beta/C-type) also produced a few low C-class flares during the period. Please also include NOAA 13257 and 13259 in your field of view if possible. Further C-class activities are expected in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13256 on 26-Mar-2023 at 11:30 UT is:

S23W38 (546",-291")
