Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13723
continued to decay in sunspot area and number of spots since
the last message and was confirmed as having lost its delta
spot configuration to be classified as a beta-gamma/D-type
sunspot group. Only C-class flares have been observed in the
period, with NOAA 12723 producing one (a C2.7 on 27-Jun-2024
at 21:36 UT) while the largest magnitude flare in the period
was a C6.6 on 27-Jun-2024 at 23:38 UT attributed to newly
numbered NOAA 13730 (a beta/B-type sunspot group). However,
it is worth noting that NOAA 13730 is located just West of
13723 and the flare occurred between the two. At this point
the MM#003 Major Flare Watch ceases, although NOAA 13723 will
remain as the default target region. More C-class flares are
expected over the following 24-hour period, with a small
chance for an isolated low M-class flare.

The position of NOAA 13723 on 28-Jun-2024 at 15:30 UT is:

S19E12 , ( -186", -348" )
