Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased since the last message. There produced an M1.0 flare at 07:44 UT (just an hour ago) by a newly numbered region NOAA 14043. 14043 also produced five low C-class flares and has been designated as a beta/D-type region. Today the target will switch to NOAA 14043. Yesterday's target NOAA 14036 (N08W81) was the source of nine low C-class flares and it is rotating over the west limb. Further C-class activities are expected from various regions, with some chance of another low M-class flare from NOAA 14043 in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 14043 on March 26 at 08:30 UT is:
N13E50 (-719", 286")
