Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low-to-moderate. Yesterday's
target, the (still) un-numbered region at the South-East
limb was responsible for moderate C-class activity. On
the other hand, two low M-class and two high C-class
flares originated behind the SW limb (likely from NOAA
12085 and 12084). The flare site has now rotated far
enough behind the E-limb that further significant flares
from the region are not expected. The most complex
region on disk is NOAA 12089 (showing a beta-gamma-
delta magnetic classification), and has released a series
of low C-class flares over the previous 12 hours.
Continuing flux emergence is evident, as well as some
shearing, as negative polarity flux flows into the following
positive polarity spots, forming a double polarity separation
line. Moderate C-class activity is expected, with a chance
for a low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 12089 on 16-June-2014 17:40 UT is:

N18W48, ( 666", 280" )
