Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at a low-moderate level. A number of flares
were produced over the last 24 hours, the largest being an M1.6 from
NOAA 13784 at 10:24 UT today. NOAA 13784 has shown signs of decay as
it approaches the western limb, however this region is still
classified as a beta-gamma-delta with an area of 600 μh . The Major
Flare Watch will continue while NOAA 13784 remains on the disk.
Further C-class activity is expected with a slight chance for an
isolated >M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13784 on 17-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is:
N15W41, (602",162")
