Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a high level. The largest event is an M5.7
major flare peaking at 00:06 UT, which is still happening now.
In addition to this M5.7 flare, the target region NOAA 13363
produced another M5.0 major flare and an M2.7 flare during
the last six hours. 13363 retains a beta-delta/D-type configuration
and is rotating over the west limb. Note that NOAA 13373
(N07E23) was the source of eight C-class flares and has been
designated as a beta-delta/E-type region. The Major Flare Watch
will continue on NOAA 13363 for a further 24 hours. Low M-class
flares are expected with some chance of additional major flare
in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13363 on July 18 at 03:30 UT

S22W76 (849", -369")
