Dear RHESSI Collaborators,

Solar activity was at a high level in the past 24 hours. The target
region NOAA 12567 (very close to NOAA 12565, N04W84) produced
three major flares, M5.0 at 01:46 UT, M7.6 at 05:00 UT, and M5.5
at 05:27 UT on July 23, with the largest one associated with a non-
Earth-directed CME. At this point, we are not implementing a Major
Flare Watch because NOAA 12567 seems to simplify its magnetic
complexity after producing those three major flares. 12567 has a
beta/D-type sunspot group now decreasing in sunspot area (330 uh,
i.e., less than 500 uh). It is rotating over the west limb, but still has
the potential to produce (low) M-class events in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 12567 on July 23 at 14:20 UT is:

N06W75 (907", 76")
