A pair of sunspot groups have formed on the visible solar disk. A new region which is located in the northern hemisphere towards the eastern limb was numbered 1054 on Wednesday. Meanwhile in the southern hemisphere, a new region quickly formed during the later part of Wednesday and should be numbered 1055 on Thursday. There will be a chance for B-Class flares and perhaps a small chance for a C-Class flare.

Solar activity remains low. Sunspot 1046 and 1048 are both small and do not pose a chance for strong solar flares. The new region I reported on Tuesday evening has formed some sunspots as you can see in the image below. This region should be numbered 1049 on Wednesday.
