Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a moderate-to-low level. The largest event
during the period was an M3.5 flare at 08:32 UT today produced by
the target region NOAA 13697. This region was also the source of
another M2.6 flare and two low C-class flares. 13697 retains a
beta-gamma-delta configuration, but decreases in the sunspot area.
The Major Flare Watch will be extended for a further 24 hours with
NOAA 13697 as the target region, due to its magnetic complexity
and continued flux emergence. Further C- and M-class activity is
expected, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13697 on 5-Jun-2024 at 15:30 UT is:

S18W29 (437",-292")
