Should be more 9s today - the MetO website has finally churned one out. (It's in Helston.)

Lines up well; Camborne just short of a 9, others in the 8s (Reading just squeezed an 😎. Feels intense though, but I suspect that's heat rather than UV- 24.7C so far today here but more humid.

Lots of 8s forecast over the next few days, as far N as Bridlington at one point. 


9 forecast for Jersey tomorrow and Friday.


 


Since last post Chilton's top was 8.5 on 3rd, with 8s today and on 1st.


Seven 7s also and nothing <5 since 29/6 so despite all the cloud & rain, it hasn't been too dull.

I notice that from the 14th July Leeds had some super data for a bunch of days:


8.5


8.7


8.6


8.4


A reminder of how small these islands are, that even that difference latitudinally does make much difference to UV if the conditions are right.

Glad to see the push for more accuracy:

The original '7s are rare' and '8 only occasionally and only in Cornwall' statements aptly archived.

Update since last post: 3 x 6+ since 15th with highlight 7.2 at Chilton on 18th, really very high for the toy and not really in line with other stations. Lowlights include 2.9 yesterday.
