Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains high in the past 24 hours. The target
region NOAA 13296 was the source of two M-class flares
(M4.3 at 05/09/18:20 UT and M5.0 at 05/09/20:32 UT), which
has increased in magnetic complexity and been classified
as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group. This region
is continuing to develop and is likely to remain flare productive.
13296 shall remain the target with the Major Flare Watch in
effect. Further low-M flares are probable in the next 24-48 hours,
with a chance of an above M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13296 on 10-May-2023 at 11:30 UT

N15W44 (639",283")
