regions over the last 24 hours as well as disturbed periods for 
Antartic. Conditions are expected to improve in the next 2 days. 
Spread-F conditions observed for Southern Aus/Antarctic regions 
with an expected decrease in this behaviour as geomagnetic activity 
declines with the current coronal hole moving out of geoeffective 
position.
