Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at an extremely low level. The target region
was confirmed as being numbered as NOAA 12843 at the beginning
of the UT day, but at that time it had decreased in complexity
to be classified as an alpha/A-type sunspot group. Although the
two flares that occurred from NOAA 12843 since the last message
included the largest of the period (a B5.3 event on 15-Jul-2021
at 18:44 UT), a succession of low B-class flares were produced
by a new sunspot region while rotating over the South East limb.
This new region has not yet fully rotated on disk, but becomes
the target because further B-class flares are probable from it
in the following 24-hour period.

The approximate position of this region on 15-Jul-2021 at 20:30 UT is:

S45E84 , ( -664", -671" )
