Date	Begin	Peak	Min	Class	Location	Region
	11:23	11:32	31	M1.2	S24W27	5793
	16:06	16:10	53	M1.2	S25W29	5793

All times UTC. Until June 2017 classes are NOAA's reports of the time (GOES-15 and earlier included a 0.7 scaling factor); later classes come from calibrated GOES-16/18 data, so the same flare reads about 1.4× larger. Do not compare the two periods directly.
