Dear Collaborators,
Solar X-ray flux has dropped below the C-level with B-level events
from NOAA 13038 and NOAA 13035 on the northwestern and southwestern
limbs, respectively, since the last message. NOAA 13038 remains the
dominant active region on the visible solar disk and shall continue as
the default target region. Only low level activity expected before the
region transits the western limb.
The position of NOAA 13038 on 25-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N16W68, ( 842", 247" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. NOAA 13038 has produced a few
low C-class flares since the last message, and has been downgraded to
a simple beta region. It shall continue as the target region for a
further 24 hours, although only isolated low-level events are expected
at this time.
The position of NOAA 13038 on 24-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N16W54, ( 735", 240" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has diminished since the last message, apart from an
occulted long-duration mid C-flare from NOAA 13031, which is now
behind the southwest limb. NOAA 13038 in the northwest quadrant has
remained quiescent but retains its beta-gamma configuration. NOAA
13038 shall continue as the target region with a chance of some
additional isolated C-class flares.
The position of NOAA 13038 on 23-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N15W41, ( 599", 220" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at intermediate levels. The largest event
since the last message was an occulted mid C-class flare from NOAA
13031, which is now behind the southwest limb. NOAA 13038 has
continued to develop and now has an area of ~500 uH, and retains its
beta-gamma configuration. NOAA 13038 shall continue as the target
region with further C-level activity likely.
The position of NOAA 13038 on 22-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N14W28, ( 431", 202" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at intermediate levels. The largest flare
since the last message was a C5.6 flare at 16:01 UT today from NOAA
13031 on the southwest limb. NOAA 13030 and NOAA 13038 have also
produced multiple low C-class flares and NOAA 13038 retains its
beta-gamma configuration. NOAA 13038 shall remain the target region as
it continues to develop. Further C-level activity likely with chance
for an isolated low M-flare.
The position of NOAA 13038 on 21-Jun-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
N15W16, ( 252", 217" )

Dear Collaborators,
The new target region NOAA 13038 was the source of several C-class
flares since the last message, including a C5.7 flare at 06:05 UT
today. The region continues to grow and develop as it crosses the
central meridian, and is now classified as a beta-gamma/D-type region.
Further C-level activity likely with chance for a low M-class flare
over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13038 on 20-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N15W01, ( 15", 219" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. NOAA 13031 and 13037 both
produced C2 flares since the last message but have decayed
significantly as they approach the western limb. The new target region
shall be NOAA 13038, a newly emerged region in the northeast quadrant.
It was also the source of a C2.0 flare at 07:10 UT today, and may
produce further C-level activity as it continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 13038 on 19-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
N15E12, ( -190", 221" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at low levels. NOAA 13030 was the source of most of
the C-class flares since the last message, but has continued to decay.
NOAA 13031 has remained quiescent but retains its beta-gamma
classification. It shall continue as the target region for a further
24 hours with only low level activity expected. Also include NOAA
13037 in your field of view if possible.
The position of NOAA 13031 on 18-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S27W51, ( 655", -442" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at the C-level. NOAA 13031 has produced
several flares since the last message, and there has been a resurgence
of activity from NOAA 13030, including a C5.6 at 10:52 UT today. NOAA
13031 has shown signs of decay but retains its beta-gamma
configuration and shall remain the target region for a further 24
hours. Additoinal C-level activity likely.
The position of NOAA 13031 on 17-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
S25W37, ( 516", -415" )

Dear Collaborators,
The target region NOAA 13031 was the source of an M1.6 flare at 03:47
UT today. The region continues to grow in size and retains its
beta-gamma classification, although there are signs of mixed polarity
within the trailing sunspot. Further C-class flares possible with
chance for an additional low M-level event.
The position of NOAA 13031 on 16-Jun-2022 at 11:30 UT is:
