Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at a low level. The largest event
since the last message was a C2.6 flare at 04:01 UT today
produced by the target region NOAA 13599. 13599 also
produced another eight ~C1 flares and three high B-class
flares in the period. This region retains a beta-gamma-delta/
D-type configuration with decreasing in the sunspot area
and number of spots slightly. But it is still showing some
new spots in its intermediate portion. Considering that its
current helicity remains at a high level, we will continue the
Major Flare Watch on this region probably for the final
24 hours. C-class activities are expected with some chance
of an isolated flare above M5 in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13599 on March 12 at 08:30 UT is:

S12W60 (819", -140")
