Target region NOAA 13780 (S13E51) produced an X1.1 flare at 15:18 UT yesterday. 13780 has been designated as a beta-gamma -delta/F-type configuration with a sunspot area of 930 uh. Today, the Major Flare Watch shall remain in effect with NOAA 13780 due to its magnetic complexity, high current helicity, and continued flux emergence. Please note that limb region NOAA 13767 produced the largest event in the period - an X1.7 flare at 13:24 UT yesterday, but this region has now rotated over the South West limb. M-class activities are expected, with a good chance of >M5 flares from various regions in the next 24-48 hours. The position of NOAA 13780 on 6-Aug-2024 at 11:30 UT is: S13E51 (-717",-274?)
