Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a low-to-moderate level. Target region NOAA
13729 has now rotated up to the South West limb and although it
was classified as an alpha/H-type sunspot group this designation
will be hampered by foreshortening effects. This region produced
only one flare in the period, a C7.2 on 7-Jul-2024 at 01:56 UT.
NOAA 13738 (a beta-gamma/E-type group) has grown in sunspot area
and number of spots since the last message to become the most
magnetically complex region on the disk. NOAA 13738 has been the
most flare-productive region in the period with 6 C-class flares
and the only M-class flare - an M1.0 on 6-Jul-2024 at 22:52 UT.
NOAA 13738 becomes the new target region. More C-class activity
is expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for more
M-class activity.

The position of NOAA 13738 on 7-Jul-2024 at 15:30 UT is:

S09E49 , ( -705", -186" )
