Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a high-to-intermediate level. The
largest event since the last message was an M6.4 flare at
19:40 UT from an unnumbered region near the South East
limb (S25E70). This region also produced an M4.3 flare at
14:04 UT yesterday. The target region NOAA 13764 has
decayed slightly in sunspot area and number of spots and
was confirmed as an alpha/H-type configuration, while NOAA
13766 (S07W18) emerged new spots to be classified as a
beta-gamma-delta/E-type region. This close pair of NOAA
regions only produced two M1 flares in the period. Today the
Major Flare Watch region will continue as NOAA 13764 due
to its past >M5 activities and proximity to NOAA 13766.
Further low-M activities are expected with a good chance
for additional >M5 flares from various regions in the following
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13764 at 11:30 UT on 30-Jul-2024 is:
S03W26 (415", -133")
