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" )

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" )
