Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a moderate level. Target region NOAA 13376 remains designated as a beta/D-type sunspot group, but has now rotated up to the North West limb so classification is uncertain. NOAA 13376 continued to be the most flare-productive region in the period with being the source of multiple C-class flares and two M-class events, which included the largest magnitude flare (an M2.0 on 26-Jul-2023 at 15:50 UT and an M1.9 on 27-Jul-2023 at 09:44 UT). Continued C-class flaring is expected in the next 24 hours, with a good chance for additional low M-class flares while the coronal loops of NOAA 13376 remain visible above the North West limb.
The position of NOAA 13376 on 27-Jul-2023 at 12:00 UT is:
N23W90 , ( 869", 367" )
