Been looking at this area grow, pretty confident it will be the next spot, quick growth reminiscent of 3699. We’ll see if I was trigger happy or this is another rather spontaneous growth.

Seems to be developing definitive spots. Not yet numerated by SWL or SWPC

This region neighboring 3697 also seems to be a candidate for 3700. Less growth but seems to have been around longer.

Hey @BasedBenny  Is your candidate Southern Hemisphere?  Approximately what longitude?  as we typically denote here west or east. Tnx Mike

Thats kinda what I assumed. Just wanted to be sure. Growth not unlike its low latitude relative North 04 indeed. 

This ar has been named 3701

3700 is the ar you have shown in b&w on your originating post (south between 3699 & 3693) but not the one you specified as being 7 s and 31 e
