Solar activity:

Input overall solar activity:
low
medium
high

Flaring activity:

Were there any flares?:
No
yes

If YES then enter the magnitude of the largest flare here:

Active Regions:

Were there any Active Regions on the Solar Disk?:

No
Yes

If YES then enter a description here:

SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: Active Region (AR) XXX (Mcintosh class:XXX; Mag. type:XXX) has been most active, producing XXX XXX-class flares, including the XXX class flare, which peaked at XXX UT. AR XXX (XXX; XXX) has also been active producing several XXX class flares. SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: All Active Regions (AR) have shown low levels of activity. SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: ARs XXX (XXX; XXX) and XXX (XXX; XXX) have shown some low level activity. SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: AR XXX (XXX; XXX) and XXX (XXX; XXX) have shown some evidence of flux emergence and cancellation in HMI magnetogram observations, this may increase flaring activity. SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: AR XXX (Mcintosh class:XXX; Mag. type:XXX) has shown some evidence of flux emergence and cancellation in HMI magnetogram observations, this may increase flaring activity. SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: AR XXX continues to show evidence of small amounts of flux emergence in HMI magnetogram observations, which may result in further flaring activity. SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: ARs XXX appear stable but have exhibited some flux emergence. SUGGESTED TEXT DELETE IF NOT USED: A small brightening has emerged around NSXXXEWXXX, and HMI magnetogram observations suggest that a new AR is forming here.
