Dear Collaborators,

Solar activity remains at a high level. Yesterday's limb target region has been quiescent since the last message. The largest event in the period was an M6.1 flare at 05:13 UT today from the leading portion of NOAA 13780 (S10E64, beta/D-type). 13780 was the most flare-productive region in the period with generating another three low M-class plus four C-class flares. Today, the Major Flare Watch shall switch to this region due to its continued flux emergence, especially in its leading portion. Additionally, NOAA 13767 (S09W85) also produced an M1.7 flare in the period. Further M-class activity is expected, with a chance for additional >M5 flares from various regions in the following 24-48 hours.

The position of NOAA 13780 on 5-Aug-2024 at 11:30 UT is:

S10E64 (-838",-207")
