Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a moderate level. Several flares were
produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.7 from NOAA
13777 at 19:57 UT yesterday. NOAA 13780 remains classified as a
beta-gamma-delta and has a significant area of 1100 μh, although the
number of associated sunspots has decreased substantially since the
last message. This region also shows sustained sunspot dynamism. The
Major Flare Watch will remain effective with NOAA 13780 as the target
region. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a slight
chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13780 on 12-Aug-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

S11W27, (423",-274")
