Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has increased to a moderate level since the last message.
The target NOAA 13712 (S24E16) remains the most flare-productive
region on disk, being the source of approximately thirty C-class flares
and the largest magnitude flare in the period - an M1.3 at 06:00 UT today.
13712 has now developed into a beta-gamma-delta region, with an
increase in sunspot area and number of spots. This region continues to
show signs of emerging flux and dynamic sunspot behaviour in its
intermediate portion. At this time, we are implementing a Major Flare
Watch campaign on NOAA 13712 due to the possibility of an isolated
>M5 flare.

The position of NOAA 13712 on 15-Jun-2024 at 15:30 UT is:

S24E16 (-238",-401")
