A new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged early this morning. It is located 
near S27E26 and appears to have a simple beta magnetic signature. If and 
when it's numbered by NOAA/SWPC it will be #11040.

If numbered then the month of December has seen seven solar cycle 24 sunspot 
groups emerge. And of course that is a new record for solar cycle 24.

The solar flux index values for December 23rd were 80.7 78.4 76.8 and the 
sunspot number 23.
