Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. NOAA 12217 appears to be in decay phase, decreasing in spot area and increasing in number of spots. This region produced no flare activity over the previous 24 hours. NOAA region 12222 has recently rotated over the South East limb and shows an increasingly complex configuration. This region is only classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group, but realistically has at least a beta-gamma magnetic complexity with some indication of a potential delta (depending on the penumbral connections between the leading polarity spot and its immediate opposite polarity neighbouring spot). 12222 has been the source of eight C-class flares since the last message, including the largest flare of the period (a C8.2 on 27-Nov-2014 at 00:39 UT). Further C-class activity is expected over the following 24 hour period, with a good chance for a low-to-mid M-class event.
The position of NOAA 12222 on 27-Nov-2014 at 13:00 UT is:
S20E63, ( -815”, -343” )
