Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity has returned to a low level. NOAA 11824 has emerged new spots within its intermediate region and is now classified by NOAA as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. NOAA 11818 has decayed somewhat since yesterday's message, but retains a small delta spot within the main leading spot. 11818 has lost its intermediate spots and decreased in complexity to a beta-delta/C-type sunspot group classification. Neither 11818 nor 11824 has produced any noticeable activity since yesterday's message. B-class events are expected in in following 24 hours, with a chance for C-class events and a very small chance of another isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11818 on 19-Aug-2013 at 13:00 UT is:
S06W54, ( 767", -164" )
