Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at a moderate-to-low level since the last message. The largest event in the past 24 hours was an M1.2 flare at 06:15 UT today produced by NOAA 13711 that has a beta/B-type configuration and is now located near the west limb (S11W79). Another two regions, NOAA 13713 (S16W25, beta-gamma/E-type) and 13716 (N10W31, beta-gamma/ D-type), produced four low C-class flares (two from each). The target region NOAA 13712 retains a beta-gamma-delta/ E-type configuration but did not show any notable activity in the period. At this moment, we end the Major Flare Watch campaign but continue to watch NOAA 13712. If possible, please also include NOAA 13713 in your field of view. Low M-class activities are likely from these three regions in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13712 on June 19 at 19:30 UT is:
S26W37 (512", -434")
