Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA 13341
again remained stable in terms of sunspot area and number of spots
since the last message, but has shown some signs of spot separation
while continuing to be classed as a beta/C-type sunspot group. NOAA
13335 (a beta/E-type region) was the most flare-productive region
in the period (at least in terms of flare frequency) with being the
source of multiple C-class flares, but NOAA 13341 still produced a
few C-class flares and the largest magnitude flare - an M4.8 flare
on 22-Jun-2023 at 23:29 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch remains in
effect on NOAA 13341 for another 24 hours. Low M-class flares are
probable over the following 24-hour period, with a chance for a >M5
or X-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13341 on 23-Jun-2023 at 18:00 UT is:

S16E25 , ( -387", -290" )
