Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13311 continues to
be the largest and most complex sunspot group on the visible disk, remaining
classified as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type spot group. This region has been the
source of twelve C-class flares since the last message including the largest
magnitude flare, an M2.6 on 21-May-2023 at 15:49 UT. The MM#003 Major Flare
Watch will remain in effect on NOAA 13311 for at least 24 hours more. Further
low M-class activity is probable over the following 24-hour period, with a
chance for another >M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13311 on 22-May-2023 at 20:00 UT is:

N18E24 , ( -369", 320" )
