Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has diminished since the last message. The largest event in the period was a C3.8 flare at 14:27 UT yesterday from the target region NOAA 13500, which also produced another five low C-class flares in the period. 13500 retains its beta-gamma magnetic configuration and has increased in terms of spot area and number of spots. NOAA 13500 will remain as the target region due to its continued flux emergence, although we are ending the Major Flare Watch at this time. Further C-class activity is likely, with a slight chance of M-class flares.
The position of NOAA 13500 on 30-Nov-2023 at 08:30 UT is:
S18W23, (362",-317")
