Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at high-to-moderate levels for the
past 24 hours. The largest event since the last message
was an M2.2 flare at 14:11 UT on 10-May-2023 from the
target region NOAA 13296. Although this region has been
classified as a beta-gamma/E-type configuration, it increased
in the sunspot area and the number of spots, which remains
the most flare-productive. Today the Major Flare Watch region
shall remain NOAA 13296. In addition, NOAA 13294 (S07W40,
beta/C-type) also produced an M2.2 flare at 08:47 UT today.
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 11-May-2023 at 11:30 UT

N15W56 (762", 273")
