Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a high-to-moderate level since the last message. The target region NOAA 13883 produced the largest event - an X2.3 flare at 13:24 UT yesterday. This region retains its beta-gamma-delta/E-type magnetic configuration and has grown marginally in the sunspot area, with the continuous shearing motion of its intermediate spots. Today the Major Flare Watch shall remain with NOAA 13883. Note that a productive region near the South East limb (S08E79, unnumbered yet) also produced an M5.3 flare at 14:27 UT yesterday. Further C-class and low-M activities are expected, with a good chance for >M5 flares from the two regions in the following 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13883 on 7-Nov-2024 at 12:30 UT is:

S06W00 (0", -163")
