MM#003 Major Flare Watch



 Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has declined to a low level after the X1.9 event
yesterday(12/1). The source region of the X class flare, which is the
target of the current Major Flare Watch campaign, was numbered NOAA
14299, classified as a beta-gamma/D-type, but has been in a dormant
state after the X class event.

The largest event in the past 24 hours was a C4.8 flare at 21:06 UT
yesterday from the middle portion of NOAA 14294. This region maintains
the size over 1400 millionths and a beta-gamma-delta magnetic
configuration, even after the westernmost area of this region was
re-classified as an alpha-type sunspot with a new number, NOAA 14298.
NOAA 14298, 14294 and their eastern adjacent region NOAA 14296 forms
a huge active region group with a total size over 2000 millionths.
More than 10 low-to-mid C class flares were reported from this active region
group, however none of them has not exceeded a high-C level.

Today, we will continue the Major Flare Watch campaign for another 24
hours on NOAA 14299, expecting additional activities including an event 
larger than M5.

The position of the target in NOAA 14299 on 2-December-2025 at
17:00 UT is: N22E61  (-787", 375").
