Dear Collaborators,
Solar activity has decreased since the last message. The target region NOAA 13738 has been still the most productive in the period. This region was a source of six M-class and numerous C-class flares, with the largest being an M3.0 at 04:05 UT yesterday and an M2.7 at 09:21 UT today. NOAA 13738 has grown in terms of sunspot area by consolidating some spots and it remains a beta-gamma-delta/F-type sunspot group. 13738 shall remain the target with the Major Flare Watch in effect. Further low-M flares are expected, with a chance of an above-M5 flare in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13738 at 11:30 UT on 15-Jul-2024 is: S09W60 (808", -183") 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.
