Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13056 has now
rotated close to the South West limb and its magnetic complexity is
difficult to determine reliably. This region has continued to produce
C-class activity since the last message, totalling six C-class flares
(the largest being a C3.9 on 20-Jul-2022 at 19:45 UT) but has become
flare-quiet with the beginning of the new UT day. Other NOAA regions
also produced C-class flares, the largest in the period being a C5.6
from NOAA 13060 on 21-Jul-2022 at 01:02 UT. NOAA region 13060 becomes
the new target due to the decreased flaring frequency of NOAA 13056
and the close proximity and resulting interaction between the 13060
leading-polarity flux and the 13058 opposite-polarity trailing flux.
More C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period.

The position of NOAA 13060 on 21-Jul-2022 at 12:30 UT is:

N13W13 , ( 206", 135" )
