Okay, hope I'm reading the right station this time.

I have for Reading 3.0 on 5/3 (TDF already highlighted that one), 6/3 and 13/3.

Yesterday 3.5/3.6 and today 15th 3.3

MetO predicting wide timeframe locally (Winchester) of 2s starting as early as 10am but no 3 yet (when I last looked) until Tuesday- so I think it's fair to say 3 is fairly implicit around noon.

Hopefully soon a 4.

3.5 today in Reading slightly before the zenith then dipping, as the sun must have become partly obscured, before rising again.

Yes hopefully just a weekend glitch, Chilton looks to have hit a 4 today. We were nowhere near that with the cloud cover most of the day.

Hope Gusty has been well enough to get outside- my face is glowing so he would have his March tan I'm sure.

Reading's first 4 yesterday, followed by a healthy jump today to 4.6.

With Camborne offline still, Swansea took the honours with a first 5 of the year.

Interesting how the change in airflow has affected the UV over the last few days down here at least.

Gone are Reading's 4.6/4.7s from a few days ago, since then we are seeing 3.5s as the max.

Yes Bertie, I was on the river Lambourn yesterday for the first day of my trout season, and for an early April day it was glorious even with a slightly nagging easterly. Even the trout were happy and looking upwards. I bet the Itchen valley is looking wonderful, I have fished it many times but the trout season prices are a little exorbitant for most.

Today was a cracker so not surprised we were back into the 4's.

4.2 yesterday in Reading but the sky is milkier here today and the wind has dropped.

6.3 3rd May. There was an early 7 in May 2018 (7.6 on 9th following a run of 6+ days).

From 4th May 6.9 6.5 6.5 6.3 6.3 

Synoptics at the time show HP setting up over southern Scandinavia from 4th, but by the 9th when the high value occurred this had been replaced by a cooler Atlantic ridge.
