Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13213 has
rotated up to the North West limb since the last message, remaining
classified as a beta-gamma/F-type sunspot group (noting that this is
compromised by foreshortening effects due to proximity to the limb).
This region produced several C-class flares and the largest flare in
the period - an M2.7 on 14-Feb-2023 at 11:59 UT. The current Major
Flare Watch target will remain on NOAA 13213 for at least a further
24 hours as it rotates over the North West limb. Additional C-class
flares are expected over the next 24 hours, with a good chance for
M-class activity.

The position of NOAA 13213 on 14-Feb-2023 at 15:30 UT is:

N28W78 , ( 856", 459" )
