Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has increased since the last message. NOAA 13590
produced an X1.8 flare at 22:52 UT yesterday and an additional X1.7
flare at 06:17 UT today.  NOAA 13590 has increased in complexity and
is now classified as a beta-gamma-delta type region. This region
continues to show signs of significant flux and has a substantial area
of 740 μh. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare Watch with
NOAA 13590 as the target region. Further >M5 activity is expected over
the next 24-48 hours .

The position of NOAA 13590 on 22-Feb-2024 at 08:30 UT is:

N17E33, (-506",378")
