Solar activity has increased to a moderate level since the last
message. The largest event in the period was a C5.0 flare at 4:45 UT
today (8/19) produced by the region behind the Northeast limb at the
latitude of ~5 degrees. This yet unnumbered region produced another
~C5 class flare (C4.9 at 13:27 UT today) and several low-C class
flares since later yesterday. This region should be closely monitored,
but the observation is limited due to its proximity to the limb.
The target region, NOAA 14507, slightly increased its size and magnetic
complexity from yesterday and was re-classified as a beta-gamma-delta
type. This region produced 8 C class flares with the largest being a C3.9
at 2:51 UT today. In the next 24 hours, the target will remain at NOAA
14507 because of the magnetic complexity retained. We will continue
to observe the Northwest extension of the trailing sunspot, Additional
C-class events are expected.
