Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at moderate-to-low levels since
the last message. The largest event was an M3.9 flare
at 01:13 UT today from yesterday’s target NOAA 13615
and NOAA 13625. 13615 also produced an M3.4 flare
and a few low-C flares, but it is currently rotating out of
Earth-view. 13625 was a newly-emerged region with a
beta/D-type sunspot group. This region was also a source
of three low-C flares. At this point, we shall end the Major
Flare Watch campaign and NOAA 13625 should become
the new default target because 13625 is the most magnetically
complex region on the disk. More C-class activities are expected,
with a slight chance of another M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13625 on 1-Apr-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

N12W72 (893", 231")
