Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13373 decayed
slightly in terms of sunspot area over the past 24 hours, but it has
remained a beta/E-type sunspot group classification. Both NOAA 13372
(a beta/C-type group) and NOAA 13373 produced C-class flares in the
period. However, the new region rotating over the South East limb -
now designated as NOAA 13380 - has again produced C-class activity.
This new region (NOAA 13380) has not completely rotated its trailing
spots onto the visible disk, but it appears to have at least a beta
magnetic classification and its main leading spot has a well-formed
mature penumbra (so either a C- or D-type Zurich classification).
The default target switches to NOAA 13380. More C-class activity is
expected over the following 24-hour period, with a chance for a low
M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13380 on 24-Jul-2023 at 11:00 UT is:

S11E63 , ( -827", -218" )
