Solar activity remains at a low-moderate level. NOAA 14420 was the site of numerous flares in the last 24 hours including an M6.0 at 22:51 UT yesterday. NOAA 14419 has now passed beyond the northwestern limb. Meanwhile, NOAA 14420 continues to develop, it retains its beta-gamma-delta type configuration while showing significant levels of flux. Additionally, NOAA 14425 has developed into a beta-gamma-delta region, though this region is not quite as large as NOAA 14420. Due to the continued production of large flares, the Major Flare Watch will be extended with NOAA 14420 as the target region. Additional high C-class and low M-class activity is likely, with the chance for a further isolated >M5.0 flare.
The position of NOAA 14420 on 27-April-2026 at 11:30 UT is:
N16W23, (359", 329")
