Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at moderate levels for the past 24 hours. The
largest event during the period was an M1.4 flare at /01/13/02:53 UT
produced by the target region NOAA 13186. 13186 also produced four
C-class flares and was designated as a beta-gamma/E-type configuration
with increasing sunspot area and number of spots. NOAA 13182 (S18W25,
beta-gamma/E-type) also produced two M1 flares and four C-class flares.
NOAA 13181 (S19W79, beta-gamma/E-type) produced an M1.2 flare.
We will continue the Major Flare Watch campaign for a further 24 hours.
Low M-class flares are still expected with some chance of an >M5 flare in
the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13186 on January 13 at 08:30 UT

N24E33 (-486", 453")
