Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity is at a moderate level. The target region NOAA 13723
remained stable in terms of sunspot area and number of spots and has
remained classified as a beta/D-type sunspot group. The solar flare
history of all active regions has been compromised from 24-Jun-2024
at 21:25 UT until 25-Jun-2024 at 12:00 UT because of network outage
at Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) that provides operational
access to the GOES X-ray time series data. Target region NOAA 13723
produced a C7.9 flare on 24-Jun-2024 at 17:01 UT and an M1.0 flare
occurred from the spots trailing immediately behind NOAA 13723. The
largest magnitude flare in the period (an M1.1 flare on 24-Jun-2024
at 19:02 UT) came from the limb-exiting location of previous region
NOAA 13713. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch continues for a further 24
hours with NOAA 13723 as the target, with a focus towards its rear
spots. Low M-class flares are likely in the next 24 hours, with a
chance for a mid-to-high M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13723 on 25-Jun-2024 at 15:30 UT is:

S19E45 , ( -632", -333" )
