Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity continues to be at high levels. NOAA 12087 has
remained the most flare productive region on the visible disk.
This region has now been reclassified as a beta-gamma/D-type
sunspot group after rotating away from the limb. NOAA 12087
was the source of 5 C-class flares and 3 M-class flares since
yesterday's message (an M3.9 flare on 11-Jun-2014 at 20:53 UT,
an M2.0 flare on 12-Jun-2014 at 04:14 UT and an M2.7 flare on
12-Jun-2014 at 10:14 UT). The MM#003 Major Flare Watch will
continue for at least the next 24-48 hours, as NOAA 12087 has
the potential for further flaring above the M5 level.

The position of NOAA 12087 on 12-Jun-2014 at 11:00 UT is:

S18E50, ( -690", -300" )
