Dear Collaborators,
NOAA 13327 has now completely decayed. Low C-level activity continues
from newly-emerged NOAA 13333 and an unnumbered region near the
southeast limb. The unnumbered region shall be the new target region
as it appears to be more dynamic than NOAA 13333 and may have an
extended quadrupolar configuration. Further intermediate level
activity possible over the next 24 hours as it rotates into view.
The approximate position of the target region on 14-Jun-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
S20E81, ( -876", -325" )

Dear Collaborators,
There has been a slight resurgence of activity from NOAA 13327 since
the last message, including two ~C5 flares at 23:16 UT yesterday and
11:57 UT today. The region continues to decay significantly in terms
of size and complexity and is now classified as a simple beta region.
There is also a large filament channel just to the south of the active
region. NOAA 13327 shall continue as the target region for a further
24 hours with additional low level activity possible. Chance for a
larger event if the filament becomes unstable.
The position of NOAA 13327 on 13-Jun-2023 at 11:30 UT is:
S15W47, ( 669", -253" )

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" )
