Solar activity continues to be very low since the last message.
The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C1.2 flare at 11:52 UT
today (8/4) from a small region rotated from the Southeast limb
at ~18 degrees earlier today. This region appears to be accompanied
by a tiny sunspot and produced another low-C class flare at 14:15 UT.
However, it is still uncertain whether this region will grow further.
The target region, NOAA 14498 only produced a high-B class event
in the past 24 hours. This region is showing signs of decay, but
remains to be the most magnetically complex region on the disk.
Therefore we will continue to observe NOAA 14498 in the next 24
hours, at the small sunspot in the Southeast of the main sunspot,
expecting the activities of low-C class.
The position of the target in NOAA 14498 on 4-August-2026 at
16:00 UT is: N13W23 (369", 131").
