Both regions are extremely active and observers are requested to monitor in white light and H-alpha. The BBSO activity warning is reproduced below giving a forecast of flare activity:
Solar activity continues at a high level and is expected to remain at a high level. NOAA 11261 remains mostly unchanged from yesterday. The region produced a M9.3 event at 03:41UT and six C-class events so far today. Region is expected to continue to produce C-class events and M-class events. NOAA 11263 has grown slightly from yesterday. Expect C-class events to continue with the chance for M-class events.
