MM#003 Major Flare Watch



Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has decreased to a low level since the last message. 
The largest event during the period was a C2.6 flare at 22:30 UT 
yesterday from the target region NOAA 14473 (S08E49). 14473 
has increased in magnetic complexity to a beta-gamma/E-type, 
with continued magnetic flux emergence and mixed polarity around 
its leading sunspots. Today, the Major Flare Watch will remain with 
NOAA 14473 for a further 24 hours. Further C-class activity is expected, 
with a chance of an isolated >M5 flare in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 14473 on 22-Jun-2026 11:30 UT is:

S08E49, (-707", -151")
