Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Most of the spotted regions on the
visible solar disk have continued to decay since the last message. The
most flare-active of these is NOAA 13056, which has been designated as
a beta/D-type sunspot group for the last few of days after losing its
beta-gamma/E-type classification. This region only has small sunspots
in its leading polarity flux, but has significantly spatially extended
strong-field plage in its trailing polarity flux with leading polarity
plage in close proximity. NOAA 13056 has produced eight C-class flares
since the last message, with the largest events being two C2.1 flares
on 20-Jul-2022 at 03:58 UT and 10:20 UT. Further C-class activity is
expected in the next 24 hours as NOAA 13056 rotates towards the South
West limb.

The position of NOAA 13056 on 20-Jul-2022 at 12:30 UT is:

S16W64 , ( 816", -293" )
