Dear Collaborators,
The level of solar activity is low. Target region NOAA 13723 continued to decay in sunspot area and number of spots since the last message and was confirmed as having lost its delta spot configuration to be classified as a beta-gamma/D-type sunspot group. Only C-class flares have been observed in the period, with NOAA 12723 producing one (a C2.7 on 27-Jun-2024 at 21:36 UT) while the largest magnitude flare in the period was a C6.6 on 27-Jun-2024 at 23:38 UT attributed to newly numbered NOAA 13730 (a beta/B-type sunspot group). However, it is worth noting that NOAA 13730 is located just West of 13723 and the flare occurred between the two. At this point the MM#003 Major Flare Watch ceases, although NOAA 13723 will remain as the default target region. More C-class flares are expected over the following 24-hour period, with a small chance for an isolated low M-class flare. The position of NOAA 13723 on 28-Jun-2024 at 15:30 UT is: S19E12 , ( -186", -348" ) See http://www.SolarMonitor.org for images and http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/ops/observing.shtml for a description of the current Max Millennium Observing Plan.
