COMMENT: Ionospheric conditions in the Northern Australian and 
Equatorial regions continued to be elevated compared with predicted 
monthly values due to strong EUV from current sunspot regions 
on the disc. Mostly normal ionospheric support for Southern AUS/NZ 
regions and Antarctic regions, with some notable sporadic E between 
08UT-11UT for mid latitudes. Similar enhanced conditions are 
expected for Australian and NZ regions over the next three days.
