Solar activity has been very low since the last message. The largest
event in the past 24 hours was a C1.4 flare at 11:28 UT today (8/3)
from the target region, NOAA 14498. This region was slightly reduced
in size but maintains its magnetic complexity of a beta-delta type.
Today, we will continue to observe NOAA 14498 on the small sunspot
with mixed polarity, that is located in the Southeast of the main
(positive polarity) sunspot. Additional C class events are expected.
The position of the target in NOAA 14498 on 3-August-2026 at
15:30 UT is: N12W09 (159", 117").
