Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. Target region NOAA 13046 has
grown since the last message, forming several small pores and spots
with small penumbrae. This region was classified as an alpha/H-type
sunspot group at the beginning of the UT day, but it appears to now
have a beta/D-type sunspot group classification. Both NOAA 13040 (a
beta/C-type sunspot group) and NOAA 13046 produced B-class activity
since the last message, with their largest magnitude flares being a
B8.3 on 3-Jul-2022 at 15:26 UT and a B7.3 on 2-Jul-2022 at 21:38 UT,
respectively. The target will remain on NOAA 13046 due to its recent
emergence of new magnetic flux. Further B-class flares are expected
in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for a C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13046 on 3-Jul-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N17E39 , ( -571", 238" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is extremely low. The target region
is now numbered as NOAA 13046 and classified as an alpha/H-type
sunspot group, although it does show signs of developing a small
spot in its trailing polarity flux. NOAA 13046 produced the only
flare since the last message, a B3.0 on 2-Jul-2022 at 14:49 UT.
B-class flares are probable over the following 24-hour period.
The position of NOAA 13046 on 2-Jul-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N17E54 , ( -733", 248" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a very low level. The target region remains
unnumbered after rotating on disk. It shows a mature leading spot
and appears to have an alpha/H-type sunspot classification. This
region has been the only source of flares since the last message,
producing five B-class events with the largest being a very long
duration B5.5 flare on 30-Jun-2022 at 19:47 UT. Continued B-class
activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for
a C-class flare.
The approximate position of this region on 1-Jul-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
N17E67 , ( -832", 258" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. Target region NOAA 13040
has continued to decay since the last message, but an increase in
primary sunspot separation means that it has been reclassified as
a beta/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 13040 produced no flares since
the last message. However, a new spot region that is rotating over
the North East limb has produced two B-class flares and a C1.4 on
29-Jun-2022 at 23:00 UT, the largest flare of the period. B-class
flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a good
chance for additional C-class flares.
The approximate position of this region on 30-Jun-2022 at 18:00 UT is:
N16E85 , ( -904", 256" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is very low. The target region NOAA
13040 has decayed slightly since the last message but continues
to be classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region was
once again the most active of the spotted regions on the disk by
producing five B-class flares since the last message, including
the largest in the period (a B6.6 on 29-Jun-2022 at 02:14 UT).
Further B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13040 on 29-Jun-2022 at 19:30 UT is:
S12W36 , ( 541", -232" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. The target region NOAA 13040 has
increased slightly in spot area since the last message and remains
classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. This region was again
the source of B-class flares since the last message, including the
largest event in the period (a B7.0 on 28-Jun-2022 at 07:47 UT).
Additional B-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour
period, with a small chance for an isolated C-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13040 on 28-Jun-2022 at 12:30 UT is:
S13W18 , ( 284", -252" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13040 has
been relatively stable in terms of spot area and number of spots
since the last message, and remains classified as a beta/C-type
sunspot group. This region continued to produce multiple B-class
flares since the last message as well as a recent C1.4 flare on
27-Jun-2022 at 18:24 UT that is the largest event in the period.
Further B-class activity is expected in the next 24 hours, with
a good chance for additional C-class flares.
The position of NOAA 13040 on 27-June-2022 at 20:00 UT is:
S14W09 , ( 144", -268" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at low levels. NOAA 13038 has remained
quiescent as it approaches the western limb. NOAA 13040 in the
southeast quadrant has produced some low C-class flares since the last
message and shall be the new target region. The region appears to be
in decay but has undergone some resurgence. Further isolated low level
events possible.
The position of NOAA 13040 on 26-Jun-2022 at 15:30 UT is:
S12E07, ( -112", -234" )

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" )
