</address> <pre> </pre> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<br />Solar activity remains at a low level. NOAA 12371 appears to have
decayed further as it rotated up to the North West limb, but some
of the decrease in spot area and number of spots is likely due to
foreshortening effects. 12371 decreased slightly in complexity in
the past 24 hours, being designated as a beta-gamma/E-type sunspot
group classification and was the source of the largest flare since
yesterday’s message, a C1.1 on 28-Jun-2015 at 06:07 UT. We are now
entering the final 24 hrs of the current MM#003 Major Flare Watch,
which will remain on NOAA 12371 until its high-lying loops rotate
completely out of view over the limb. C-class flares are expected
in the next 24 hrs, with a good chance for a final flare above the M5 level.
<br />The position of NOAA 12371 on 28-Jun-2015 at 21:00 UT is:
<br />N12W90, ( 923”, 196” )
