Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at a moderate level since the last message. Several notable flares were produced in the last 24 hours, including an X1.1 from NOAA 13784 at 06:00 UT today. NOAA 13780 has remained dormant since the last message. NOAA 13784 has developed in complexity and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta. This region also continues to show dynamic sunspot behaviour. The Major flare Watch will continue and the target region will switch to NOAA 13784. Further M-class activity is expected with a chance for an additional >M5 flare in the next 24 hours. The position of NOAA 13784 on 14-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is: N15W00, (0",138") See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
