Solar activity has slightly reduced since the last message. The
largest event in the period was a C4.0 flare at 6:40 UT yesterday
(8/18) produced by the target region, NOAA 14507. This region also
produced a C3.2 flare at 17:42 UT yesterday, while NOAA 14510
and its adjacent region, NOAA 14506 showed several low-C class
activities in the last 24 hours.
NOAA 14507 is undergoing further flux emergence in its trailing
portion that increases magnetic complexity of this area. Today we
will continue to observe NOAA 14507, at the Northwest extension
of the trailing sunspot, expecting additional C-class events.
The position of the target in NOAA 14507 on 18-August-2026 at
16:00 UT is: N03W46 (690", -19").
