Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at low-C levels since the last message. Most flares originated from the target region NOAA 14507 and NOAA 14506. 14507 produced ten flares, the largest of which was a C3.7 event at 03:13 UT today. This region continues to show the emerging mixed magnetic fluxes in its intermediate portion and retains a beta/D-type sunspot classification. 14506 (N11W38, beta/D-type) generated seven low-C flares, with signs of shearing and additional flux emergence. Today, the target will remain at 14507, with 14506 included if possible. More low-C activities are expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14507 on 16-Aug-2026 11:30 UT is:
N04W22 (355", -36")
