Solar activity has remained persistent since the last message. Several flares have been produced, all of which are attributed to NOAA 14551, and the largest being a C2.9 at 02:00 UT today. NOAA 14551 is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta region and has grown in size. This region also continues to show growing levels of emerging flux. At this time, we are issuing a Major Flare Watch with NOAA 14551 as the target region due to the increased complexity of the region. Further C-class activity is likely, with the chance for a >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 14551 on 15-Oct-2026 at 7:30 UT is:
S15E03, (-48", -343")
