Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is moderate. Target region NOAA 13645
maintained spot area and number of spots since the last message,
remaining classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. This
region was the source of several high C-class flares and an M2.9
flare on 23-Apr-2024 at 17:33 UT. The largest magnitude flare in
the period was an M3.6 on 23-Apr-2024 at 03:06 UT that came from
NOAA 13654 (a beta/C-type group), the same region that produced
an M3.0 on 23-Apr-2024 at 08:07 UT. The default target switches
to NOAA 13654 because this region seems to be emerging new flux.
More low-to-mid M-class flares are likely in the next 24 hours,
with a chance for a >M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13654 on 23-Apr-2024 at 19:30 UT is:

S09E33 , ( -514", -82" )
