Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity was at a high level in the past 24 hours. The
largest event was an M6.7 flare at 19:02 UT yesterday
produced by the target region, now numbered as NOAA 13615
that has a beta-gamma/E-type configuration. 13615 also
produced an M1.4 flare at 02:24 UT today and more than ten
C-class flares. At this moment we are implementing the MM#003
Major Flare Watch on this region. Low M-class flares are
expected with a chance of an additional flare above M5 in the next few days.
The position of NOAA 13615 on March 19 at 12:30 UT is:
S12E55 (-773", -132")
