Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has reached moderate levels since the last message. The largest event during the period was an M3.0 flare at 18:57 UT yesterday from the limb target region, which has now been designated NOAA 14524 (N12E71, alpha/H-type). 14524 also produced four additional low C-class flares and several mid-to-high B-class flares during the period. NOAA 14523 (N11E42, beta/C-type) also became active, producing three low C-class flares, together with several mid- B-class flares in the period. Today, we will continue with NOAA 14524 as the target region. Further C-class activity is expected, with a chance of additional low M-class activity in the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14524 on September 3 at 11:30 UT is:

N12E71 (-880", 158")
