Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity was at a moderate level in the past 24 hours. The
largest event during the period was an M2.0 flare at 22:46 UT
yesterday, produced by the target region NOAA 13615. 13615
also produced ten C-class flares including a C9.0. This region
has been designated as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type configuration,
with increasing the sunspot area but decreasing the number of
spots. It is showing mixed polarities in the intermediate portion.
M-class activities are very likely including an above-M5 flare in
the next one or two days.

The position of NOAA 13615 on March 21 at 08:30 UT is:

S12E34 (-528", -103")
