Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has been at a high level since the last message. The northeast limb region mentioned in the previous message was designated as NOAA 13372 and has produced three major flares (an M6.8 at 07/11/17:51 UT, an M5.8 at 07/11/22:04 UT, and an M6.9 at 07/12/08:49 UT), four low M-class flares, and six C-class flares. Now we are implementing the Major Flare Watch campaign. Another three regions, NOAA 13368, 13366, and 13361 also produced three low M-class flares. Low M-class activities are expected with a good chance of additional above M5 flares in the next few days.

The position of NOAA 13372 on July 12 at 11:30 UT
