Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at moderate levels for the past 24 hours.
The largest event since the last message was an M2.2 flare at
11:32 UT today from a northeast limb region (unnumbered yet).
This region has also produced four M1 and multiple C-class flares.
Today the Major Flare Watch region will switch to this limb region
because of its recent higher frequency of flaring. Yesterday’s target
was numbered as NOAA 13310 (beta/D-type, S20E67) and only
produced 2 low C-class flares. Another region NOAA 13305 also
produced a  C-class flare. Further low M-class activities are very
likely over the following 24-hour period, with a chance for an above
M5 flare.

The approximate position of the target on 18-May-2023 at 11:30 UT

N18E88 (-880", 290")
