Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity remains at a high level. The largest event since the last message was an M6.4 flare at 06:36 UT today (12/10), produced by a southeast limb region (S17E73), which also produced another three ~M1.0 and five C-class flares in the period. The Major Flare Watch will continue, and the target region will switch to this limb region. Yesterday's target region NOAA 13912 (S06W82) remained active and produced more than ten C-class flares when rotating over the west limb. Further low-M-class activity is expected, with a chance of an isolated ≥M5 flare from various regions in the next a few days.
The approximate position of the target on December 10 at 12:30 UT is:
S17E73 (-892'',-283'')
