Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA 13380
was stable in terms of sunspot area since the last message and has been
confirmed as a beta/C-type sunspot group now that it is fully on disk.
This region was the source of low C-class activity in the period while
NOAA 13376 produced a C-class flare and the largest magnitude flare, an
M1.5 on 25-Jul-2023 at 01:36 UT. NOAA 13376 has undergone a significant
episode of flux emergence and consolidation over the past 48 hours to
evolve from an alpha/H-type sunspot group into a compact beta/D-type,
so it becomes the new default target region. Further C-class flaring is
expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for another M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13376 on 25-Jul-2023 at 13:00 UT is:

N23W60 , ( 755", 328" )
