Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a low-moderate level. Several flares have
been produced since the last message, the largest being an M2.4 from
NOAA 13784 at 01:50 UT today. NOAA 13784 remains classified as a
beta-gamma-delta as it begins its approach of the northwest limb. This
region still shows signs of significant flux, however the sunspot
behaviour appears to be steady. While NOAA 13784 remains in view on
the disk, the Major Flare Watch will continue. Additional C-class and
low M-class activity is anticipated, with a slight chance for an
isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13784 on 18-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

N15W54, (742",180")
