Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a low-to-moderate level since the last
message. Several flares were produced over the last 24 hours, the
largest being an M1.8 from NOAA 13663 at 22:26 UT yesterday. NOAA
13654 produced a single C-class flare since the last message. At this
time, the Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be a final
24 hours to allow NOAA 13654 to pass fully beyond the southwest limb.
Close attention should also be paid to NOAA 13663, which has produced
a number of flares in the last 24 hours and has developed into a
beta-gamma type region, with notable dynamism in its sunspot
behaviour. Additional C-class activity is expected in the next 24
hours with a chance for further isolated M-class flares.

The position of NOAA 13654 on 2-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

S07W83, (937",-107")
