Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has increased since the last message with the
near-spotless region NOAA 13017 producing an M5.6 flare at 07:00 UT
today. NOAA 13014 was also the source of an M1.5 flare at 10:00 UT,
and is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta region with a sunspot area
of almost 1000uH. At this time we are issuing a Major Flare Watch with
NOAA 13014 as the target region. Further C-level activity likely with
chance of a >M5 flare in the next 24 hours. Also include NOAA 13017 in
your field of view if possible.

The position of NOAA 13014 on 19-May-2022 at 11:30 UT is:

N21E10, ( -154", 374" )
