Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has dropped to a moderate level. The largest event since the last message was an M1.1 flare at 17:21 UT yesterday from NOAA 14117 (S14E31, beta/D-type). Only five high-B and low-C flares were produced by the target region NOAA 14114. 14114 experienced a further decay in its leading spots but remained a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot group. Today, the Major Flare Watch will be extended for the final 24 hours with NOAA 14114. Further C-class activity is probable, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 flare in the coming 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14114 on 21-June-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N18W61 (786", 278")
