Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has remained at a low level since the last message. Yesterday's target region NOAA 13341 further decayed in terms of sunspot area and only produced two C1 flares in the period, while continuing to be classified as a beta/C-type sunspot group. NOAA 13340 (N23W35, beta-gamma/E-type) was the most flare-productive region in the period with being the source of 10 C-class flares, including the largest magnitude flare - a C7.1 at 03:49 UT today. The target will now switch to NOAA 13340. Please note that NOAA 13337 (N21W65, alpha/H-type) also produced a high C-class (C6.8) flare at 21:56 UT yesterday. More C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with low M-class activity also possible.
The position of NOAA 13340 on 26-Jun-2023 at 07:30 UT is:
N23W35 (499", 341")

A correction: The target region NOAA 13340 has a beta-delta/E-type classification (NOT beta-gamma). Sorry about this.
