Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA 13311
continues to be the most complex sunspot group on the visible disk,
remaining classified as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type spot group. This
region maintained a high frequency of C-class flares since the last
message and was also the source of the largest magnitude flare - an
M3.1 on 23-May-2023 at 12:07 UT. We continue with the MM#003 Major
Flare Watch targeting NOAA 13311 for another 24 hours. Additional
low M-class flares are likely in the next 24 hours, with a chance
for another >M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13311 on 23-May-2023 at 18:00 UT is:

N18E10 , ( -160", 320" )
