Solar activity has been at a low to moderate level since the last
message. The largest event in the period was a C8.2 flare at 19:10 UT
yesterday(8/16) produced by NOAA 14506. This region increased magnetic
complexity, now classified as a beta-gamma type. 14506 is the source
of several other C class flares since the last message, but somewhat
settled after the C8.2 event.
The target region, NOAA 14507, continued to grow in size and magnetic
complexity to be reclassified as a beta-gamma/E-type region. This region
produced 9 low-C class flares in the last 24 hours. Another source of
flares (2 low-Cs) was NOAA 14510 where new sunspots emerged at
its original trailing area.
Today we will continue to observe NOAA 14507, at the central portion
with mixed polarities. Additional C-class events are expected.
The position of the target on 17-August-2026 at 15:30 UT is:
N03W35 (550", -33").
