Interesting how the BBC are always a little reluctant compared to MetO to up the UV forecast; for example, there have been numerous 6s forecast by MetO in the S recently, but the Beeb forecast won't raise its head above the 'Moderate' parapet.


Changed for Thursday this week- with MetO forecasting 7, Beeb has tiptoed into a 'High' forecast.

Chilton 6.4, Reading 6.3, so not quite as high as was forecast a little further south.

Camborne- second day on 7!


Reading- second day on 6.3


Chilton- second day on 6.4


These readings all seem absolutely right, given the conditions AND the forecasts from MetO and Beeb.

BBC weather has UV 'high' posted for 14 consecutive days in the S, including today. Don't think I've sen that before.

Despite earlier excitement about highest UV levels this week being today (Wed), none of the 3 S UK stations pipped an 8. Yesterday was generally higher.


It is more humid today- there was dew on the lawn (not Dave Dew- just dew).

Peripheral interest- highest UV I can find forecast is in the purple'extreme' category, with 14 forecast, in Mexico City midweek.


Though Khatmandu might be higher with thinner air, but thundery showers are expected.
