Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a high level in the past 24 hours. The largest event since the last message was an M5.9 flare at 08:48 UT today produced by an unnumbered region (N17W65). This region between NOAA 13878 and the North West limb was newly emerged in the period. The target region NOAA 13883 has experienced notable shearing and additional flux emergence and has been classified as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group. It was the most complex region on the disk. Today the Major Flare Watch will continue as NOAA 13883. Further C-class and low-M activities are expected, with a good chance for additional >M5 flares in the next 24 hours.

The position of NOAA 13883 on 6-Nov-2024 at 12:30 UT is:

S06E14 (-233", -163")
