Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. The target region NOAA 13723
grew slightly in sunspot area and number of spots since the last
message and was reclassified as a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot
group, but it now appears to be starting to decay. Only C-class
flares have been observed in the period, the largest of which was
a C6.2 on 26-Jun-2024 at 14:42 UT from newly numbered NOAA 13728,
a beta/B-type sunspot group that is trailing immediately behind
NOAA 13723. The MM#003 Major Flare Watch continues for a possibly
final 24 hours with NOAA 13723 as the target, again maintaining
focus towards its rear spots (i.e. close to NOAA 13728). C-class
flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a
chance for an isolated mid-to-high M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13723 on 26-Jun-2024 at 19:30 UT is:

S19E33 , ( -487", -339" )
