Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has reached a high level for the past 24 hours.
The largest event since the last message was an M5.4 flare
at 00:41 UT today from the target region, which has been
numbered as NOAA 13311. This region also produced another
5 M-class (M1.1, M3.9, M4.5, M1.6, M2.5) plus multiple C-class
flares and has been classified as a beta/D-type configuration
with a high and increasing current helicity. Today the Major
Flare Watch region shall remain this region, which is likely to
remain flare productive. Further low M-class activities are
expected over the following 24-48 hours, with a chance for
another above M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13311 on 19-May-2023 at 11:30 UT

N18E69 (-842", 305")
