Solar activity continues at a low-moderate level. Several flares were produced since the last message, the largest being a C9.0 from NOAA 14420 at 09:14 UT today. NOAA 14420 has seen a partial reduction in the levels of sunspot dynamism since the last message, however this region still shows significant flux. Meanwhile, NOAA 14425 has doubled in size over the last 24 hours but has not produced any particularly significant flares. The Major Flare Watch will remain active for a final 24 hours with NOAA 14420 as the primary target region. Additional attention should be paid to the development of NOAA 14425 also. Further mid-high C-class activity is anticipated with the very slight chance for a >M5.0 event.
The position of NOAA 14420 on 28-April-2026 at 11:30 UT is:
N16W36, (540", 320")
