Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity was at a moderate-to-low level. The largest event during
the period was an M2.4 flare at 06:09 UT today produced by the target
region NOAA 13697. This region also produced another M1.7 flare and
a few C-class flares (including three C8 flares). NOAA 13697 retains a
beta-gamma-delta configuration, with some new emerging sunspots in
its trailing portion. Considering that its current helicity remains at a high
level, we will continue the Major Flare Watch on this region for a further
24 hours. Further C- and M-class activity is expected, with a slight chance
of an isolated >M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13697 on 4-Jun-2024 at 15:30 UT is:

S18W16 (248",-290")
