Dear Collaborators,

The solar activity has decreased since the last message.
The largest event since the last message was a C6.7 flare
at 08/19/20:19 UT produced by target region NOAA 13078.
13078 also produced another five low C-class flares during
the period. This region retains its beta-gamma-delta/D-type
configuration while it seems to decay further. It is showing
magnetic flux cancellations and is rotating to the west limb.
The Major Flare Watch campaign will continue for another
24 hours. Low M-class activities are still likely with a slight
chance of a major flare in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13078 on August 20 at 03:30 UT is:

S24W64 (779", -428")
