COMMENT: A weak shock was observed in the solar wind around 18UT, 
indicative of a glancing blow from a CME. At this stage this 
is not expected to cause signifcant impact on the ionosphere. 
However high to mid lattiudes may experience some depressed periods 
over the next day if this event proves to be geo-effective.
