Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has been at an intermediate level since the last message. The largest event in the period was an M2.4 flare at 07/10/03:29 UT from NOAA 13358 that has an alpha/A-type sunspot group. Multiple C-class flares were produced by various regions, including NOAA 13358, 13368, 13366, 13367, and 13361, with the largest one being a C9.4 at 07/10/01:49 UT from the target region NOAA 13361. 13361 has been designated as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type configuration. We will watch this region for a further 24 hours. Additional C-class flares are expected from various regions with a good chance for a low M-class flare in the next 24 hours.
The position of NOAA 13361 on July 10 at 07:30 UT
N24W30 (432", 334")
