Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a moderate-high level. The largest flare of the last 24 hours was an M6.7 from NOAA 13843 at 20:09 UT yesterday. NOAA 13842 did not produce another flare since the last message. However, this region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta and now has an area of 530 μh, while showing continual sunspot development. The Major Flare Watch will remain active with NOAA 13842 as the target region. Close attention should also be paid to NOAA 13843 and 13844 as these regions have developed in complexity.

The position of NOAA 13842 on 4-October-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

S15W15, (240",-349")
