Solar activity has been at a moderate level. After the M6.7 event
yesterday (15:29 UT on 10/8), the target region, NOAA 14549 produced
more than 10 low-to-mid C class flares. All of them are from its
leading group of sunspots forming a delta configuration, while the
group of trailing sunspots from which the M6.7 event was initiated stayed
quiet becoming sparse. The largest event since the last message was
an M1.3 flare reported at 13:55 UT today from NOAA 14547, which is
currently under the NorthWest limb transit.
The leading sunspots of NOAA 14549 are undergoing further flux
emergence maintaining clear delta configurations. Today we will continue
the Major Flare Watch campaign with NOAA 14549. The target will be on
the leading sunspots, expecting additional C class activities with a chance
of M class flare larger than M5.
The position of the target in NOAA 14549 on 9-October-2026 at
16:00 UT is: N08W38 (596", 54").
