Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a high-to-moderate level. The largest event
since the last message was an X1.0 flare at 16:11 UT on May 12 from
the target region NOAA 13664. 13664 also produced more than ten
M-class flares including an M6.7 flare at 09:36 UT on May 13. Today
we will continue the Major Flare Watch campaign on this region when
it is rotating over the west limb. Further M-class flares are expected
with a chance of an occulted major (>M5) flare in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13664 on May 13 at 23:30 UT is:

S19W89 (897", -307")
