Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity has still been high since the
last message. The largest event was an X1.5 flare at
02:33 UT today from the target region between 13764
and NOAA 13766. 13764 has been classified as a
beta/C-type sunspot group and 13766 (S07W03) has
retained a beta/D-type configuration over the past 24
hours. Their intermediate portion with mixed polarities
appears to be away from 13766 and thus closer to
13764. Today the Major Flare Watch will switch to 13764
(with NOAA 13766 in the field of view). In addition, NOAA
13762 (beta-gamma-delta/F-type, S11W49) also produced
an M7.8 flare at 10:27 UT yesterday and an M8.7 flare at
12:47 UT today. Further low-M activities are expected with
a good chance for additional >M5 flares in the following
24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13764 at 11:30 UT on 29-Jul-2024 is:

S03W13 (213", -139")
