Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased to a high level since the last message.
The largest event in the period was an M7.5 flare at 01:07 UT today
Events entry). This region has remained the dominant source of
activity on the visible disk, producing numerous C-class flares and
two additional low-M flares (M1.7 and M1.2) during the period. 14409
retains a beta-gamma configuration, and its leading sunspots are
showing signs of shearing and ongoing flux emergence. At this time,
we are implementing a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 14409. Further
C-class activity is expected, with a chance of an isolated >M5 flare
over the next 24–48 hours.
The position of NOAA 14409 on 4-Apr-2026 at 11:30 UT is:
N02W08 (133",139")
