Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at moderate levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest event since the last message was an isolated M1.8
flare at 18:13 UT on 11-May-2023 from NOAA 13294. This region
retains a beta/C-type configuration and remains the sunspot area
and the number of spots. Yesterday’s target NOAA 13296 (N15W70,
beta-gamma/E-type) was only the source of multiple C-class flares
and it shows magnetic signs of decay. Today the Major Flare Watch
region shall switch to NOAA 13294. Further low-M flares are likely
in the next 24-48 hours, with a small chance of an above M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13294 on 12-May-2023 at 11:30 UT

S07W54 (764", -86")
