Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. The target region NOAA
13191 has grown slightly in spot area in its interior since the
last message and is designated as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot
group. This region has continued to produce flaring, being the
source of several mid-to-high C-class events, the largest being
a C8.3 on 15-Jan-2023 at 12:07 UT. The largest magnitude flare
in the period came from NOAA 13190 (an M4.9 on 15-Jan-2023 at
14:16 UT), but the target will remain on NOAA 13191 - this is
due to the proximity of a newly emerging sunspot region to the
North East of NOAA 13191 that has also produced C-class events.
Further C-class activity is expected in the following 24-hour
period, with a good chance for more M-class flares.

The position of NOAA 13191 on 16-Jan-2023 at 16:30 UT is:

N12E31 , ( -491", 270" )
