Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was an M2.1 flare at 00:18 UT today produced by the target NOAA 14043. 14043 also produced four C-class flares (including a C7.0) during the period. It retains a beta/D-type configuration but increases the sunspot area and number of spots. More C-class activities are expected with a good chance of another low M-class flare in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14043 on March 27 at 04:30 UT is:
N11E49 (-714", 255")
