Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is high. Target region NOAA 13165 has
continued to grow in spot area and magnetic complexity since the
last message to now be designated as a beta-delta/E-type sunspot
group. This region remains the most flare-productive region with
being the source of multiple M-class events, the largest being
an M5.7 on 15-Dec-2022 at 22:20 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch
continues with NOAA 13165 as its target. Further M-class activity
is expected over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for more
flares >= M5.

The position of NOAA 13165 on 16-Dec-2022 at 16:30 UT is:

S19W72 , ( 877", -312" )
