Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has dropped to an intermediate level over the past 24 hours. Two ~M1 flares, a M1.1 at 14:43 UT yesterday and a C9.9 at 06:14 UT today, were attributed to NOAA 14109 (S17W91, beta/C-type) and an unnumbered region (S15E89), respectively. The target region NOAA 14114 was only the source of four mid-C flares. It retained a beta-gamma-delta/E-type magnetic configuration, and continued to develop additional spots in its intermediate and tail portions. Today the Major Flare Watch shall be extended for a further 24 hours with NOAA 14114. More low-M activity is very likely, with a chance for an isolated >M5 flare in the following 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 14114 on 17-June-2025 at 11:30 UT is
N18W08 (125", 272")
