Solar activity during the past week generally remained at low levels, except for the final two days when several M‑class flares were produced. Only low‑intensity C‑class flares were observed through June 19, after which activity increased with the arrival of active region 14473. The strongest event of the week was an isolated M6.8 flare on June 21 from AR 14473. This region also generated two additional moderate flares, an M1.0 on June 20 and an M2.6 on June 21. Active region 14472 produced another moderate flare, an M1.3, on June 20. June 16 was the least active day of the period, with X‑ray flux remaining mostly below the C level. Several coronal mass ejections were reported, though none had an Earth‑directed component.
Helioseismic mapping of the farside indicates a moderate‑sized
active region in the southern hemisphere that may rotate into Earth view around
June 24.
