Dear Collaborators,

The target region, NOAA 14549 produced an M6.4 flare at 14:58 UT yesterday(10/10) right after the last message, but since then solar activity has come down to a low level. The largest event in the last 24 hours was a C4.8 flare at 17:45 UT yesterday from NOAA 14551 in the SouthEast quadrant, occurred during the decay phase of the M6.4 flare. Several other low-C class flares were reported from NOAA 14545 and a region newly rotated from the NorthEast limb.

Although NOAA 14549 has not produced flares since the M6.4 event, a delta configuration in the leading sunspots are maintained. In the next 24 hours, NOAA 14549 should be monitored as the Major Flare Watch target. Flares of C to low-M class are expected with a slight chance of another event larger than M5.

The position of the target in NOAA 14549 on 11-October-2026 at 16:00 UT is: N08W65 (862", 93").
