</address> <pre> </pre> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<br />Solar activity is at a low to moderate level. Yesterday's target (NOAA
12253) was responsible for another M-class event, a M1.3 flare on
04-Jan-2015 at 15:35 UT, as well as further C-class events. The mixed
polarity spot in the leading portion of the region has continued to
weaken, but continues to show evidence for shearing. The region shows
signs of flux emergence within the intermediate portion and still
maintains the capacity to release a &gt;M5 flare. The MFW will continue
for at least the following 24 hours. Further C-class activity is
expected with the chance for a &gt;M5 event.
<br />The position of NOAA 12253 on 04-Jan-2015 at 16:35 UT is:
<br />S07W01 ( 16&quot;, -61&quot; )
