Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region
NOAA 13730 was the source of the largest magnitude flare in
the period - an M1.4 on 4-Jul-2024 at 19:54 UT. After this
NOAA 13730 decayed to the point of losing all its spots to
become an unnumbered plage region. NOAA 13733 increased
quite significantly in sunspot area since the last message,
but remained classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group and
only produced one C-class flare (a C3.5 on 4-Jul-2024 at
17:59 UT). Newly numbered NOAA 13737 (a beta/D-type spot
group) was the most flare-productive region with generating
four C-class flares, the largest of which being a C4.1 on
5-Jul-2024 at 15:06 UT. NOAA 13737 becomes the new target
for the next 24 hours while it rotates up to the South West
limb. Additional C-class flares are expected in the next
24 hours, with a chance for further low M-class activity.
The position of NOAA 13737 on 5-Jul-2024 at 15:30 UT is:
S14W85 , ( 911", -232" )
