Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity has slightly reduced since the last message. Several flares were produced, the largest being a C7.8 from NOAA 13786 at 16:53 UT yesterday. NOAA 13784 only produced a single C4.3 flare in the last 24 hours. This region is still classified as a beta-gamma-delta with a sunspot area of 680 μh. The Major Flare Watch will remain active due to the size and complexity of NOAA 13784. Further C-class activity is likely, with a slight chance for an isolated >M5 event in the next 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13784 on 16-August-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

N15W26, (402",147")
