Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity continues at an intermediate level. The target region has now been numbered as NOAA 13697 and has produced several flares in the last 24 hours, the largest being an M2.6 at 12:45 UT today. Currently, this region is classified as a beta-gamma type region and continues to show signs of significant flux. The Major Flare Watch will be extended for what may be the final 24 hours, while target region NOAA 13697 continues to traverse further onto the solar disk. Further C-class activity is expected with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event.

The position of NOAA 13697 on 29-May-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

S18E62, (-796",-285")
