MM#003 Major Flare Watch



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has dropped to a moderate level since the last 
message. Seven low-M and seven C-class flares were 
produced by the target region NOAA 14366, with the largest 
magnitude being an M2.7 at 04:25 UT today. This region has
retained a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group with an 
area of >1000 μh, showing the emergence of shearing and 
rotational magnetic fluxes in its intermediate portion. Today, 
the Major Flare Watch region will continue at 14366. Low-M 
activity is expected, with a chance for an isolated >M5 flare 
in the coming 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14366 on 5-Feb-2026 08:30 UT is:

N14W12 (197", 336")
