Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. The target regions NOAA 12993 and 12994 furthered their decay and decreased in magnetic complexity to be designated as beta-gamma/C-type and beta-gamma/E-type sunspot groups, respectively. NOAA 12993 decayed the most out of the two and also produced two C-class flares (a C4.8 on 25-Apr-2022 at 20:38 UT and a C2.1 on 26-Apr-2022 at 09:50 UT). Additional C-class activity is expected over the following 24-hour period with a small chance of another low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12993/12994 on 26-Apr-2022 at 19:00 UT is:

N17W51 , ( 710", 325" )
