Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity was at a moderate level. The target region NOAA 13679 produced two ~M1 flares (an M1.1 at 07:51 UT and an M1.4 at 20:05 on May 24) and seven C-class flares (including two C9). This region almost rotates over the west limb with some overlying loops visible above the limb. We will watch this region for a final 24 hours. Please note that NOAA 13685 (S13W34, beta-gamma/E-type) also produced two ~M1 flares (M1.5 and M1.3). Additional low M-class flares are probable from these two regions.
The position of NOAA 13679 on May 24 at 19:30 UT is:
S09W85 (932", -145")
