Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at the low C-level with flares from
multiple active regions. The largest event was a C5.2 flare at 06:49
UT today from NOAA 13330 in the northeast quadrant. NOAA 13327 has
remained quiescent and continues to decay. It remains classified as a
beta-gamma region and shall continue as the target region for a
further 24 hours. No significant increase in activity expected at this
time.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 12-Jun-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
S16W34, ( 509", -269" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at low levels since the last message. The
largest flare was a C5.7 from NOAA 13323 at 21:10 UT yesterday. NOAA
13323 is now approaching the southwest limb and NOAA 13327 has
continued to decay. NOAA 13327 still retains its beta-gamma
configuration but is becoming much more fragmented. It shall continue
as the target region with only C-level activity likely over the next
24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 11-Jun-2023 at 15:30 UT is:
S15W22, ( 343", -253" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at low levels except for an isolated M2.5
flare that occurred at 16:48 UT yesterday near NOAA 13331 in the
southeast quadrant. NOAA 13327 has decayed significantly and is now
classified as a beta-gamma region. It has continued to produce low
C-class flares since the last message, along with NOAA 13323. NOAA
13327 shall continue as the target region with only further low
C-level activity expected over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 10-Jun-2023 at 15:30 UT is:
S17W08, ( 126", -284" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has diminished to the low C-level since the last
message. NOAA 13327 retains its beta-gamma-delta configuration but has
become relatively quiescent. The delta spot now appears to be on the
leading edge of the active region as it approaches the central
meridian. NOAA 13327 shall continue as the target region although we
are ending the Major Flare Watch at this time. Further C-level
activity possible with an isolated chance for an additional low
M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 9-Jun-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
S16E08, ( -126", -266" )

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 13327 has continued to produce C-level activity since the M4.7
flare yesterday, including a C7.3 flare at 04:43 UT today. The region
remains unchanged in terms of its complexity and retains its
beta-gamma-delta configuration. It also appears to be undergoing flux
emergence in its core. It shall remain the target region with a Major
Flare Watch in effect for a further 24 hours due to the possibility of
an >M5 flare.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 8-Jun-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
S16E21, ( -326", -264" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has increased significantly since the last message. An
M4.7 flare that began at 11:18 UT today in target region NOAA 13327 is
currently in progress. The region has significantly increased in size
and complexity and is now classified as having a beta-gamma-delta
configuration. The delta spot is embedded in the trailing portion of
the active region. At this time we are implementing a Major Flare
Watch campaign with NOAA 13327 as the target region due to the
increased likelihood of an >M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 7-Jun-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
S14E33, ( -501", -230" )

Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 13327 has continued to produce mid C-level activity since the
last message, while NOAA 13323 has remained quiescent as it crosses
the central meridian. NOAA 13327 is classified as a beta/D-type
region, comprising negative polarity spots embedded in positive
polarity plage. NOAA 13327 shall be the new target region with further
C-level activity likely over the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 6-Jun-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
S15E49, ( -690", -244" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has continued at the mid C-level since the last
message, with flares from both NOAA 13323 and the new region near the
southeast limb, which is now designated as NOAA 13327. NOAA 13232
remains the larger and more complex of the two regions, and continues
to show dynamic behaviour in its trailing sunspots. It shall remain
the target region for the next 24 hours with further C-level activity
likely.
The position of NOAA 13232 on 5-Jun-2023 on 11:30 UT is:
S07E13, ( -211", -112" )

Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a low level. Target region NOAA 13323 grew
marginally in sunspot area since the last message, and remains
classified as a beta-gamma/E-type spot group. A new spot region
has recently rotated on disk over the South East limb and shows
early signs of being at least a beta/C- or D-type sunspot group.
This currently unnumbered region has produced 11 C-class flares
in the period. NOAA 13323 has also continued flaring at C-class
level with 4 events, including the largest magnitude flare in
the period - a C8.8 flare on 4-Jun-2023 at 03:32 UT. The target
will remain on NOAA 13323 due to its known and higher magnetic
complexity. Additional C-class flares are expected in the next
24s, with a chance for an M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13323 on 4-Jun-2023 at 18:00 UT is:
S07E22 , ( -353", -111" )

Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13323 grew
further in spot area and number of spots since the last message,
now being classed as a beta-gamma/E-type spot group. NOAA 13323
remained the most flare-productive region in the period, being
the source of several C-class flares including the largest flare
in the period - a C6.3 flare on 2-Jun-2023 at 22:26 UT. Further
C-class activity is expected over the following 24-hour period,
with a chance for an isolated M-class flare.
The position of NOAA 13323 on 3-Jun-2023 at 16:00 UT is:
S07E36 , ( -555", -110" )
