Dear Collaborators,

The level of solar activity is low. The high-lying coronal loops of NOAA 12994 have now rotated out of view beyond the North West limb. All of the spotted regions on the visible disk have been stable and unremarkable since the last message, while a new region is currently rotating over the South East limb. This new region was the source of two C-class flares prior to yesterday's message and two high B-class flares in the past 24 hours (a B8.2 and a B8.9 on 2-May-2022 at 09:17 UT and 12:59 UT, respectively). The target switches to the South East limb-crossing location of the new region. C-class flares are probable over the following 24-hour period.

The approximate position of this region on 2-May-2022 at 18:00 UT is:

S32E90 , ( -797", -494" )
