Cloud today obviously, but serious sunburn risk in Gib: reached 6.0. At noon, under a benign HP >1020mb with a slight drift off the clean Atlantic.

I note by early next week, UV 2 is forecast as far N as Aberdeen and even Inverness:

Yesterday Chilton reached 2.4 and Camborne 2.5

Well- Chilton reached 3.2 today and Camborne 3.6. Can't quite believe it myself. This equates, in solar angle, to the very end of September/ start of October. 3.2 of course is attainable at that time of year- but the thing is, this is the side of the winter solstice when equivalent solar elevations do not lead to equivalent UV indices, due to eg O₃ levels. So- this one should be marked up.

Chilton and Reading have another 3 today

---

First moderate UV reading of the year today in Manchester. UVI of 3 at solar noon.

Hey Scott! Glad you could join me on this lonely thread.

Reading had a happy 3.2 today and Chilton a creditable 3.5. Reckon that's good for this time- but v. impressed by a N. England 3. Get that vit D and keep the viruses away!

---

UVs of 4 in the forecast down here on a number of days in the coming week on the metoffice.

First 3.0 here yesterday

First 3.0 here yesterday

Good news for CSEngland Roger. Keep us updated. Hope you're well!

---

3.2 Reading; 3.6 Chilton. I am starting to think Chilton's figures are too often for logic higher than Reading's; sadly, they are posted more persistently.

---

Take off day today as the spring equinox marks a fast change day by day.

---

Quite a lot of fluctuation between 3's and 4's this weekend down here, currently at 4's on the MO. The follicly challenged among us may need to start being sensible, whilst enjoying it all the same.

---

Agree with both, WI and Tierra: Sunday to Tuesday we have 4s forecast. That was sudden.

---

3 as far north as Edinburgh on Monday. 'Seek shade during midday hours; cover up and wear sunscreen.' Really?

Met Office seem to widely be forecasting moderate UVIs on sunny days for Manchester now. I usually don't start tanning until the UV is around 4 though.

---

I have Chilton on a 4.0 and Reading at 3.8 today. Thoughts? This is as high as we get the equivalent other side of the solstice, when O3 is less.
