Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is currently low. NOAA region 11698 was
the source of the largest event in the past 24 hours, a B8.0 flare
on 16-Mar-2013 at 18:50 UT. This region has grown in terms of spot
area and number of spots (mostly in its intermediate portion), and
is classified by NOAA as a beta/D-type sunspot group. NOAA region
11696 also produced B-class activity (a B6.9 flare on 17-Mar-2013
at 00:51 UT) and remains classified by NOAA as a beta-gamma/E-type
sunspot group. This region has evolved somewhat over the past 12
hours with some of the intermediate spots developing penumbrae.
B-class activity is expected, with C-class events possible. The
level of activity might increase in the following 24 hours as the
previously flare-productive region NOAA 11682 is due to return
over the South East limb.

The position of NOAA 11696 on 17-Mar-2013 at 12:30 UT is:

N04W43, ( 657", 154" )
