Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has decreased slightly in the past 24 hours.
The limb target region NOAA 13738 produced an M1.2 flare
at 09:26 today. Today we will continue the Major Flare Watch
for another 24 hours, due to the complex beta-gamma-delta/F-type
magnetic configuration, sunspot area of >1000 MSH, and past
flaring history in this region. Besides, some other active regions
(NOAA 13753, 13744, 13743) also produced several M-class
flares, including the largest magnitude being an M5.1 at 06:26
today from NOAA 13743 (beta/E-type, S11W37). More low-M
activities are very likely with a chance of an isolated >M5 flare
in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13738 at 11:30 UT on 17-Jul-2024 is:

N09W90 (932", 147")
