Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity is at a high level. Target region NOAA 13165 has
increased in magnetic complexity from yesterday to now be classed
as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. This region continued to be
the most flare-productive region on disk and was the source of
several M-class events following yesterday's M6.3, the largest of
which was an M3.2 on 14-Dec-2022 at 14:54 UT. The MM#003 Major
Flare Watch will continue on NOAA 13165 because there remains a
good chance for another flare >= M5.
The position of NOAA 13165 on 15-Dec-2022 at 16:30 UT is:
S20W58 , ( 778", -326" )
